Ok...here's some info to share...
Paddlecraft Community - Input Needed for the 2014 King Harbor Holiday Boat Parade
What: Join us for an informal forum where members of the paddlecraft community (SUPs, kayaks, outrigger canoes) can help provide feedback to the 2014 Boat Parade committee. The event committee was thrilled to have almost 50 SUPs compete in 2013. The SUPs competing for the first time greatly enhanced the event.
Your input is needed as we discuss ways to improve the event for both participants and spectators. We will be discussing the following:
- Adding SUP-specific award categories
- SUP parade route, gathering point and finish
- Identification (means) for judging
- Other logistical and safety concerns
When: Tuesday, August 19 -- 6:30 pm (social) & 7:00 pm (meeting)
Where: King Harbor Yacht Club (upper deck), 280 Yacht Club Way, Redondo Beach, 90277
Pizza provided & cash bar available. RSVP not required.
Boat Parade date: Saturday, December 13
Boat Parade theme: KING HARBOR LIGHTS
Boat Parade Grand Marshal: Fritz Coleman - comedian, NBC-4 meteorologist
What's New:
Specialized workshops featuring experts on boat parade lighting/electrical, sound, & creative concepts
