OLD LYME—There are new Independence Day champions on Rogers Lake.
Rogers Lake Boat Parade organizers Christina and Dave Evers in an email said this year’s trophy for the “most enthusiastic, patriotic, and best decorated” boat has been awarded to Jim and Christine Levasseur and family.
The Evers said the family’s enthusiasm put them over the top during Friday afternoon’s parade around the lake.
“They never stopped dancing,” the organizers said. “There was a close second place winner, but the Levasseur family really brought that energy!”
Judges were placed randomly along the water.
The winners keep the trophy for 12 months and then return it to be presented to next year’s winner. The Levasseurs took the title from the King family.
This year marked the sixth annual boat parade. The trophy added friendly competition to the festivities in 2022.
