The pontoons on parade event on Saturday evening, July 26, has to be rated as a fantastic event on beautiful Wyandotte County Lake.

The theme for the day was Christmas in July, and it was carried out on all the 49 entries. Hope this will be annual event.

The boats paraded past the Beach Shelter and on down the lake and then on their return back to the dock area. With their lights on the boats set the lake off in a splendid view, lights reflecting on the water.

Wyandotte County Parks and Rec did a great job in promoting the lake along with fun in the sun, and imagination on the water.
