Hi All, Next weekend Essex Historical Society will be hosting the annual Trees in the Rigging parade on November 25. This year, the street parade and carol sing will feature "Boat Floats" or small craft that can be towed (or walked!) down West Ave. and Main Street as part of the parade. These boat floats will can be decorated with lights or festive trimmings in a low-impact, low-budget way. The following link has more information about this new opportunity. http://www.essexhistory.org/events/trees-in-the-rigging-land-boat-parades/ If you would like to participate, please reach out to Melissa Josefiak, Director of the Essex Historical Society directly. mjosefiak@essexhistory.org Kathryn Ryan PYC, Commodore Please do not reply to this email.
