Ship Bottom Parade December 2021

The wind subsided and the sun came out as the Garden Club of LBI’s holiday float made its way down Long Beach Boulevard in the annual Ship Bottom Christmas Parade. The decorating of the float was spear-headed by Karen Martinez with several garden club members giving a helping hand. Snoopy looked quite at home by the mantle reflecting the parade theme of “Comfort and Joy for Christmas” while members lead the way with a lively walk. Click on any photo to enlarge.
