Santa on the Bay

Yummy breakfast, messy craft, lots of kids, Christmas music and Santa = a GREAT morning!! Santa (well known local volunteer Al Boehley) listened to all the kids' Christmas wishes, distributed candy and gifts, and had about a zillion photos taken. He even offered to let the kids pull his beard! We just hope the kids had as much fun as the Lantern Queen staff!

Candlelight Tour of Havre de Grace

Several folks reported that the Lantern Queen was the most welcoming place in town! Owner, Carroll Fitzgerald, along with Marquis Downs Caterers Tom & Kathy Eikenberg, and Captains Fred & Dave, made sure that everyone had a hot beverage and cookies.

Mitch Mitchell brought the "mini-Lantern Queen" down to the pier, dressed to match the "big-Lantern Queen." Christmas music poured from both boats, and candlelit luminaries lit the sidewalk and pier.

It was a wonderful night to meet friends and neighbors, new and old.

Post Thanksgiving Luncheon Cruise

What a great time we had - a boat full of folks just relaxing while someone else did the holiday cooking as we sailed down the river. It was cold and brisk, but cozy inside. But most folks ventured up on the upper deck to take in the views and watch the paddlewheel.
