| Twin Lakes - July 3, 2008 What is now an
annual tradition, the residents of Twin Lakes "deck" their
boats in patriotic lighting. The boats gather at dusk and
then for a parade around the lake. In the photo above the
Boat carrying Uncle Sam appears to be under attack from a
boat "decked" out as a tank. |
 |
| Lake Gogebic - July 6, 2008 In another
annual event, young boaters of Lake Gogebic come together at
the Hoop 'n Holler in the Annual "Cardboard Boat Race"
The boaters at Twin Lakes and the youngsters at Lake Gogebic
enjoyed the Holiday weekend on the water but in very
different ways. |
| |
 |
| At dusk boaters gather on Twin Lakes. At dark, the
Armada will then travel the shore line where large groups of
spectators anxiously await the boats arrival. |
