Coming up this Sunday is the best party on water I know about! The kids want to dress as pirates this year and we've been practicing our pirate accents for weeks.
Everyone is invited! It is organized by my buddy Helen and her fabulous organization, River Alliance of Wisconsin, and it is a ton of fun.
You have two choices: Get in a boat or stand on the shore smiling while the parade paddles past.
To join the parade: dress up your boat, your kids and the dog,
too. Or not. Just come. You might bring an instrument and play
along with the floating band. Or just drum on the side of your boat!
We meet at 9:30 AM at Tenney Park, near the parking lot between Sherman and Johnson Streets (across from the tennis courts) to get decorated and set up. We'll start putting in the water around 10 AM and float under all those bridges, past all the admiring and cheering on-lookers, to the Yahara Place Park on Lake Monona, site of the Marquette Waterfront Festival.
Need more encouragement? I wrote four reasons Why the Fools Flotilla Matters last year. I still believe.
Come down to the River!

Boats hit the water around 10 AM
