Trump boat parade at Lake Mead could draw hundreds of vessels

[TexasTowelie]

Hundreds of vessels could take part in a Trump boat parade at Lake Mead National Recreation Area on Saturday, according to event organizers.

The Facebook group Lake Mead DTOM arranged the parade and the Facebook event page shows that over 800 people plan to attend what it called the “Lake Mead Trump Boat Parade.”

Because of the parade size, event organizers needed a First Amendment permit from the National Park Service. The permit only allows for up to 500 boats to be in the parade, Lake Mead National Recreation Area spokeswoman Christie Vanover said.

Brian Bandy, 42, said his friends Megin and Jason Dick started organizing the boat parade in August after seeing several similar events in other states. As the “boat expert” of his friend group, Bandy said he’s helped secure permits and determine the logistics of bringing nearly 500 vessels onto the lake at once.

Should I be surprised that the Dicks organized the boat parade?

1. Oh, boy! We can watch the Trumpies demonstrate

the same levels of seamanship that they showed on Lake Travis in Texas!

I wonder how many boats will sink this time?

2. And it comes at the perfect time of the year

since there aren't many new series or athletics to watch on TV right now.

3. And they'd be performing a public service, too!

If enough people roll footage, boating classes across the hemisphere will be stocked with enough video of things not to do in the water to last for years!

I mean, that footage of the sinking boats on Lake Travis was an eye-opener.

6. Since they're so hot on breaking rules

I hope they drive their boats right past the buoys marking the no-go zone at the dam.
