We start with 2007.
Jesse Hogan photographs the parade from atop his floating bicycle with one of his pals on board.
The "Branch Office", captained by Dennis Wittmayer, was designated the Parade Marshall. He's just the person to set the mood for the event. That's Jeannine taking a photo of our boat.
The Hawker's boat. You've recently seen that before in another post elaborately decorated as Santa's Workshop.
On the boat in front of us a set of twins appeared in the parade with their Mom and Dad.
In 2008 we were invited to join John and Barb Lee. That's John Andrew, Katie and Eli boarding with food and alcohol for the long, arduous voyage around the lake.
Norma and Ken (with a blowup leprechaun) watched the parade from their patio. I think that's Eula Hobbs also in the picture. Sadly, she is no longer with us.
Heide and Dave are on the "Cat's Meow".
The infamous "Branch Office" from another perspective. That's Gene and Evie on board as well.
George and Kathy Haney watched the parade from on shore.
My absolute favorite shot of Katie...in her stylish shamrock sunglasses.
At the party, Pierce and Florrie Clifford (who are really Irish, as in they were actually born in Ireland) enjoy the evening with Mary Lynch. Florrie always does an Irish jig for the party. I'll try to get video of it this year.
This is 2009 and all my parade shots came from Nancy Campbell because we, if you will recall from an earlier post, never made it away from the dock due to an engine malfunction. Nancy was a professional photographer and has the most fabulous camera.
Love the sign.
This is Nancy's photo of the Kreutzberg's table. That's a woman with a stein of beer on her head. We are rarely very subtle here.
The ladies from the Lee's boat.
The men from the Lee's boat.
We don't seem too upset about not being in the parade, do we?
Stay tuned for video and photos from the 2010 event when we are on Don and Carol Alexander's boat. He was formerly in the U.S. Coast Guard and is one of the best yachtsmen on the lake.
