The Buckeye Lake Boat Parade has a theme, and it’s about as 4th of July as it gets! 🇺🇸🎆
This year, we’re going patriotic. So, cue the flags, cue the streamers, cue the red, white, and blue everything.
Boat owners, start thinking about your setup. Maybe it’s classic stars and stripes. Maybe it’s a deck full of patriotic lights and banners. Maybe it’s matching outfits, music, signs, balloons, and a boat that makes everyone on shore turn their heads.
However you do it, make it fun. Make it festive. Make it feel like Buckeye Lake on the 4th of July.
Prizes will be awarded for:
Most Patriotic: $200
Most Creative: $200
People’s Choice: $200
People’s Choice voting will happen by text. Just text your favorite boat number to (740) 242-7676.
Registration is now open. To register your boat, contact Marnita Swickard directly at 614.419.0478 or [email protected]. You can also register online at https://theblaca.org/boat-parade/
The theme is set. Now it’s your turn to make Buckeye Lake look loud, proud, and ready for the 4th! 🇺🇸
