Anyone going/ participating in the Stamford, CT boat light parade this year? I'll hopefully be watching from the Ponus Yacht Club.

Email I got last week or so about this years event.....
….THE TRADITION CONTINUES with a little twist for 2014*
“A Lighting at the Dock”
Saturday, November 29th,
6PM at Crab Shell
*We’ve had nine of our “core” boats notify us that for various reasons, they won’t be available for the parade this year. Without critical mass for a parade, but a desire to keep the spirit alive, we have decided to not have a parade but have all decorated boats join us for “A Lighting at the Dock”.
Bring your decorated boats to the dock slips at Crab Shell.
You can come over earlier, and stay overnight as well. We have plenty of slips available. At 6:00pm we will light up the boats and let the festivities begin.
Dan and Stu (outside bar) will be open with the heat lamps, fire pit, and of course we’ll have Live Entertainment. Plus, inside.
Marines will be collecting Toys for Tots (and taking selfies).
“The Dairy Queen to The Shack” Harley Santa Motorcycle Ride with Toys on board.
Please spread the word and plan on coming here Saturday - Nov 29th from 5PM until….It promises to again be a fun part of Thanksgiving Weekend.

Strange - I got an email that states it was canceled - something about no marine traffic in Huntington harbor due to barges and tugs. They stated it was only bikes....

Mark, that's a bummer. I was thinking of decorating our boat at the slip.

Nope,
Our club had a special menus for last night but, I was tied up with other things...was a warm(ish) night too.
I don't think our northeast weather is conducive to such actives, it's just late in the season (cold) and most boats are out of the water and winterized.
The whole thing revolves around an after party at the Crab Shell in Stamford CT.
December 13th, I'm going to a house party on the route of the Ft Lauderdale Christmas Boat Parade. This might be a better one...
