11 th Annual Pirate Parade O ur Pirate Parade continues to be the event of the summer! It is held each year on the Saturday after the annual meeting, with a rain date of Sunday. This is a time for people of all ages to come together to enjoy family and friends on the lake!

The meeting time is noon at the lower narrows. Folks in the upper and lower lakes should give themselves plenty of time to be in place for the start of the procession. At noon we proceed up the lake past the rope swing and onto to Pirates Cove for a few hours of water fun and frolic! We encourage and expect everyone to use safe boating practices. Please follow them so that this event can continue for years to come. • Please be respectful of others. • DO NOT throw water balloons or anything else! People get hurt and they are bad for the lake. • DO NOT throw buckets of water onto another boat. People have small

children, pets, and cameras on board. • DO NOT approach other boats at an unsafe distance when you are moving. • Be sure your registration numbers are visible. We do not want any accidents to ruin our fun. Please keep safety in mind. We would love someone new to Captain the parade! If there is another boat that would like to lead, just position yourself in the front when approaching the lower narrow and watch the boats follow along behind you!
