Many thanks to all who made the November 26, 2011 Middle River Parade of Lighted Boats a success! After taking a year off, the parade’s return was greeted by great weather and wonderful participation to the community’s delight!

Knowing how much the waterfront communities had enjoyed the lighted boats over the years, Jim High, Baltimore Boating Center and Pat Williford, Stansbury Yacht Basin decided to join forces and bring the Parade of Lighted Boats back to Middle River.

Middle River Rec & Parks Council and Chesapeake Bay Memories Charities are pleased that hundreds of families enjoyed the 2011 boat parade from the public viewing area at Wilson Point Park. Special thanks to Rec and Parks elves Marge and Terry, and Chesapeake Bay Memories Charities elves’ Bob Sersen, Skylee Adams, Judy Zeller, and Bill Zeller for distributing free hot chocolate and cookies for the public’s enjoyment.

Want to help make next year’s Middle River Parade of Lighted Boats an even better success for the community’s delight? Call Jim at 410-404-3013 or Pat at 410-686-3909.
