🇺🇸 WOW—what a wonderful 4th of July on Lotus Lake! Happy Semiquincentennial, America! 🇺🇸
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this year’s Annual Lotus Lake Boat Parade such a memorable event!
We had 6 fantastic entries and more than 400 spectators gathered around the lake to cheer them on. Thank you to everyone who decorated, participated, voted, and came out to celebrate together.
🏆 After all the votes were counted, #29, The Oregon Trail, earned this year’s Voters’ Choice Award! Congratulations!
Our Semiquincentennial-themed entries also celebrated:
🚗 The Introduction of the Model T Ford
🍺 Prohibition
🎬 Hollywood
⚜️ Scouting
🎂 Happy 250th Birthday, America!
📸 We know there were lots of great photos taken around the lake! If you captured the parade, please share your pictures in this group so everyone can enjoy.
Wishing everyone a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable rest of the holiday weekend!
