Sponsored by the Riverwalk
Yacht Club and Extreme Marine, the annual Parade of Lights will take to the
waterway, illuminating Decatur’s Wheeler Lake, on Saturday, December 10, 2011.
The free holiday maritime event features approximately 20 boats of all types and
sizes decorated with lights, holiday themes, and other festive trimmings for the
holiday season. New for this year, the public is invited for a leisurely stroll
around the docks for an up close look at the brightly lit boats prior to the
parade.
Beginning at 4 p.m., the docks at Riverwalk
Marina open allowing the public for the first time to admire the boats and their
holiday decorations before they set sail. In addition, the Morgan County Humane
Society will be on-hand with various animals available for adoption. With
Christmas just around the corner, a new pet would be a wonderful present for
someone. The Morgan County Humane Society will also be accepting donations of
pet food, supplies, and cash.
At 6 p.m. the boat parade will take its usual
route, making a circle from the entrance of Riverwalk Marina located on Highway
20, west to the Railroad Bridge, east in front of Rhodes Ferry Park and then
back into the Marina. The best viewing will be at Rhodes Ferry Park, the Hard
Dock Café or the Marina entrance.
Anyone interested in participating in the parade or for more information, contact Bob Namie at 256.306.0909.
