Color On The Creek Event News

Kudos to Adam Brockett for the above Vote For Your Boat image!

Sailing Through The Winter Solstice 2020

The armada was successfully launched on Saturday November 21st. Please take a look at the launch process: Frederick News Post Launch and the launch as filmed by Kristin Kremers. This year's solstice event is an awesome display of our communities' collective creativity and talent. There are 20 boats this year in the creek! There's also a lovely article about the display on onlyinyourstate.com.

We've launched! There is a lot of excitement about the voyage this year. There are five new teams that worked hard to join the fleet in the water and four additional land sharks as well. The armada is at 20 boats + 4 landlocked boats, 24 in total. Many boats from last year’s fleet were either replaced entirely or have undergone major revisions. Check out our new look for this year’s fleet! Despite COVID-19, "Sailing Through the Winter Solstice 2020 / COVID be Damned" is a very special and needed event.

Here is the list of boats this year by location:

Suspension bridge through Carroll St - USS Frederick Town, Carroll Creek Clipper, Snallygaster & Twins, Centennial, Dynamic Auto, Phoenix and USS Hood.

West of Patrick St. - Black Pearl.

Patrick St to the Stone Bridge - Crew boat, Mystere and Hope Floats.

Stone Bridge to Suspension Bridge - Kraken, Morgan Keller, Matten, BB&T – Beacon, Arctic Racer, Stultz, Starry Night, Wine Kitchen and Spirit of Maryland.

In an effort to share the awareness of the boats on the creek, we have created an exclusive yacht club for creek enthusiasts and their friends. Purchase your Yacht Club items here. All proceeds sweatshirt sales will help fund Color on the Creek and "Sailing Through the Winter Solstice."

Please Volunteer!

If you'd like to volunteer to help us out on the creek in the future, look for an announcement in the spring, when we begin planting in the greenhouse. Whether planting in the spring and early summer, cleaning in the fall, adding the fleet in November or removing the fleet in February, we need your help! Please volunteer here.
