This year, the 2009 Patuxent River Appreciate Days Parade, with Grand Marshall, Fred Tutman, the official Patuxent River Keeper was a great deal of fun and entertainment under beautiful skies. Participants marched from the Tiki Bar in Solomons along Route 2 up to the Calvert Marine Museum.

Parade participants each vied for prize money by being the most original and well decorated entry. After much deliberation by judges, the following won cash prizes:

First Prize of $300 went to Girl Scout Troop 5147, Second Prize of $200 went to Calvert County Nursing Home and Third Prize of $100 was awarded The Shrine BOUMI Temple Legion if Honor.

TheBAYNET.com was there to record all the fun and sights. Those who were among the parade participants, perhaps, may have been “Caught in the Net!” Take a look and see what you missed!
