Sunday July 11th was one of the most successful Annie & Mary Days in the history of the annual event. The parade featured Grand Marshall, BLVFD Chief David Vainuku and several BLVFD members driving fire trucks with sirens blasting! Bandemonium, giant puppets, Annie & Mary, great cars, horseback riders and many other participants. The Bill Nessler Car Show featured 67 amazing vehicles for folks to peruse. Pony rides and a petting zoo was sponsored by the Blue Lake Saddle Club. Over 50 craft vendors were set up in the ballpark. Various food and drink vendors provided sustenance for all ages. Music from Backseat Drivers, Dead On, Cadillac Ranch and Barn Fire provided the dancing and listening entertainment.

Because of the many generous donations from local businesses, the raffle was a huge success for the Blue Lake Chamber. It was a perfect day for this family fun free event!
