PATRIOTIC BOAT PARADE & CELEBRATION IN THE PARK

MONTICELLO, INDIANA JULY 2, 2011

MILITARY FAMILIES (veterans and soldiers currently serving) …...you are invited to ride the 400 passenger Madam Carroll (free) filled with your families and loved ones to lead the long line of some 65 decorated boats on Lake Freeman. You will board the Madam at 8:45 a.m. on Saturday, July 2. Plenty of help will be available to get you on and off the boat.

The boat will dock at about 12:30 and then it is on to what the this week end is all about in small town America with hot dogs, watermelon and ice cream along with fun and free games for the whole family. There will be a lot of excitement with military flyovers, skydivers and musical entertainment. Let us know if you can make it and how many in your party.
