Christmas in July is an annual event hosted by the Friends of Worthley Pond.  It will be held on July 18th, so please join in the festivities!

There is a rumor that SANTA will be ditching his sleigh for a JETSKI  and will be circling the POND late afternoon – 4:00 (ish) to see if he sees young campers who have been either naughty or nice 🙂

The annual boat parade will start at the Snowshoe Club at 8:30 p.m.  If you would like to be involved in the annual boat judging contest, please be at the Snowshoe Club by 8:30 and identify yourself to the judges who will be in a pontoon boat with a white lantern illuminating an American flag.

All boats, whether competing for “best dressed” or simply enjoying the scene, should navigate counterclockwise around the pond.  Please remember to have your boat’s running lights on at all times.  Decorated boats are beautiful but SAFETY is our main concern.  If the judge’s boat approaches you, please identify yourself so the judges know whom to give the awards to.

Decorating your camp?  Spectacular!!  Camps should be ready by 9 p.m. on Saturday in order to participate in this friendly competition.  Judging will occur between 9:00-9:30 p.m., after the boat competition.  But you are encouraged to leave your decorations up and lights on until 11 p.m. to ensure that the judges have a chance to include you in the competition.

Many thanks to “Captain” Alan Elliot and our three judges, Barbara Burns, Deb Taylor, and Mary Pulsifer for orchestrating the camp and boat competition this year!  Please note that the judge’s boat may make two or three trips around the pond to enjoy the decorations and to solidify their decisions.  So PLEASE leave your lights on as long as you can.  The judges’ decisions will be put on the Friends of Worthley Facebook page and the winners will receive their award certificates on Sunday.
