Far Horizon's Big Rapids and the suburbs of Hersey, Kalamazoo, and Mancelona joined the Jordan's and Gregorich's for the 1st annual "Blessing of the Boats" Festival. The gathering was held Friday the 12th on the Muskegon River between Hersey and Paris. The Right Reverend Rob Kotecki did the invocation in the absence of three local priests who were busy elsewhere saving souls. After the ceremony we launched our kayaks and canoes for the two hour ride to Paris Michigan (not France). The hosts were joined by Pattersons, Vickie & Earl, Pattersons, Chuck & Jane, Nash's Gary & Jan, Millers Al & Donna, Samanias Pete & Karen, Markeys Jim & Jellayne, Rob Kotecki & Ione Condit, and Jack Mitchell & Janee Aranoff. The group returned to the Gregorich's for Brats on the grill and the usual cast of things delicious plus music by the "Tres Amigos" around the firepit. P.S. Shania's did not float the river therefore nobody fell in the river.
