On Friday, August 20, the Cape Ann Marina hosted a BBQ Fund-raiser to benefit the Boat Parade of Lights, which is scheduled for Saturday, September 4, as part of the annual Schooner Festival.

The crowd enjoyed a BBQ served up by the Boat Parade Committee. Musical entertainment was provided by Scott Hitchcock. A highlight of the evening was the auction for 2 tickets to a Patriot's pre-season game, which were donated by Bruce's Landscaping.

The Parade Committee thanks everyone who pitched in to make this annual event so successful.
