Dear Baltimore Parade of Lighted Boats Participant:
Welcome to the 21st Annual Baltimore Parade of Lighted Boats. This event is
produced by the Fells Point Yacht Club, Inc. The Parade is scheduled for
Saturday, December 6, 2008.
The parade route will be through the Inner Harbor and Fells Point areas. We will
use two groups for forming up; the Inner Harbor Group, and the Fells Point
Group. The plan is for two complete passes around the parade route for all
boats.
The boats will be judged and prizes awarded. The prizes to be awarded will be
for Best in Parade, Best Theme of Christmas, Best Illuminated, Best Large
Power Boat, Best Small Power Boat, Best Large Sail Boat and Best Small Sail
Boat.
The parade groups will begin forming up shortly after 5:00 p.m., as directed
by the Parade Marshall and the assisting Safety Boats. The parade will start
at 6:00 p.m. (Foul weather date is Sunday, December 7,2008.)
Any vessel may enter the parade provided it is properly insured and the
skipper adheres to all the rules and regulations of the U.S.C.G., Maryland
D.N.R., the Marine Unit of the Baltimore City Police and the Baltimore Fire
Department. Participants must fill out the registration form and its reverse
side, the theme form. These forms should be received at the above address,
with the entry fee of $1.00 per foot, no later than Monday, December 1,2008.
In addition to the nominal registration fee, we ask that each captain and
crew member or guest on each vessel donate a toy to the Marine Corps
Toys-for-Tots program. The Marine Corps Representatives will be present at
the post-parade party and awards ceremony. Guests who do not bring a toy to
the ceremony will be asked for a $10.00 contribution to the Parade at the
entrance to the party.
Attendance at the Skippers' Meeting is mandatory. The meeting will be held on
Wednesday, December 3, 2008, at 7:30 p.m. at the Hendersons Wharf Hotel, 1000
Fell St., in Fells Point.
We support Toys for Tots!
