Weather was great this year after all the rain we’ve had.
9 boats this year in the motorized division, 2 in the non-motorized
Boat decorations were even more elaborate this year – participants did
a fantastic job – everyone had a great time!
Each participant was given a certificate for participating and a scratch
ticket to show appreciation for all their hard work.
Numbers for entries were handed out from the Potter residence at Liberty
Dock by Jim Potter with help from others.
We had in the motorized division – Pirates of Queen Lake, Star Wars,
God Bless America, Hawaiian Luau, Red Sox Nation, Little Mermaid,
School’s Out-Surf’s Up!, Jungle Cruise and Pirates II. For the
non-motorized we had Going Green Dog and Patriotic.
Entries were judged on 3 categories this year with a numbering system to
aid the judges. The categories were: Boat Decoration (theme, creativity,
extensiveness,etc.), Costumes (design, creativity, art, related to theme,
etc.) and Special Effects (sounds, actions, etc.)
Hard decision for the judges who were:
Bob Clark, Spa Road
Jan Patton, Spa Road
Richard Stevens, Chief of Phillipston Fire Dept.
Paula Haley, Templeton
We want to thank the judges for their hard work.
