Red, white and a slue of boats decorated in the spirit of the holiday slowly made their way down Lake St. John during Saturday’s annual Flotilla.
The themes of this year’s decorated watercraft ranged from the “Tiger King” and “Back to the 80s” to “Drinkin’ with Lincoln” and a COVID-19 inspired design called “Corn-tine.”
Father John Pardue from St. Patrick Catholic Church in Ferriday offered blessings as the boats made their way down the lake.
Above are pictures from Saturday’ Flotilla.
