At the end location of the parade, all of the votes will be counted. The boat that raises the most money will receive a grand prize, a custom-designed winner’s pennant and trophy.
Runners-up in various categories will receive donated prizes (gift cards, baskets, etc.)
Around 9 p.m., lighted boats will proceed back to McHenry Cove.
Funds raised benefit the DCL Lions Club’s Blind Skier and Camper programs. Other nonprofit organizations that enter a boat can keep all the money they raise.

State Lakes Protection and Restoration Fund projects identified
From The Garrett County Republican
ANNAPOLIS — The Maryland Department of Natural Resources will undertake restoration projects at lakes throughout Maryland under the new State Lakes Protection and Restoration Fund, which provides $1 million for each of the next three years to improve state-owned lakes.
Gov. Larry Hogan approved the total $3-million fund in May 2018, and the department was tasked with determining priorities and a work plan for the funding. Five public open houses were held around the state in the fall of 2018 to solicit project ideas, and the department’s lake managers also helped identify the most pressing needs to protect and restore the water bodies under their care.
“The input we received from local governments, organizations and citizens was very valuable to the department as we made decisions about the first year of funding,” Maryland Natural Resources Secretary Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio said. “We are pleased to announce maintenance and restoration projects at all 16 state-owned lakes.”
