SMITH LAKE - The Veterans Appreciation Boat Parade, organized by the Rotary Clubs of Smith Lake and Jasper, will start at 10 a.m., Saturday, August 26.
Boats should start lining up at 9:30 a.m. at Duncan Bridge Marina. There is no cost to participate.
Boat owners are encouraged to join the parade and host veterans aboard their crafts during it. Lake residents are asked to decorate their docks in support of veterans from Devil’s Branch to Little Dismal, and watch the parade from them as it passes.
After the parade, the rotary clubs will provide grilled hamburgers and hotdogs at the marina. Miss Alabama Brianna Burrell will be present to sing the national anthem, and there will be a flyover, among other entertainment.
All interested persons are encouraged to come out and help support our veterans during this special event.
