The 2025 11th Annual WCSC Parade of Lights was held on December 5th and 6th for the benefit of 
and the Good Neighbor Cupboard food pantry. We had 18 beautifully decorated boats participate over the two nights. This year's event the most successful ever for and for the Good Neighbor Cupboard.
We are again having a contest for the best decorated boat in two different categories. The categories are sailboats and powerboats.
If you participated in this year's event by decorating your boat on either Friday or Saturday night you were automatically entered in the contest. We will be selecting a first, second, and third place in each category by having all the participants and their friends along with the members of WCSC pick their top 3 boats in each category from the pictures found the Photo Album List on the WCSC website.
To vote, click this link Photo Album List and select the 2025 11th Annual Parade of Lights album. Once you are in the album you should be able to scroll through the pictures of all the boats in the parade by using the arrows on each side of the picture depending on your device.
After you view the pictures, make your selection for a first, second, and third place in each category, "VOTE" by recording the photo file number found at top left corner of the photo that begins with either and “S” or “P” (not the order number that appears under the photo) of the 3 boats you selected within each category and reply to: sailtanzer@aol.com:
