Thank you Huron Pointe Excavating for being a Co-Sponsor and for the AMAZING BARGE,
​TOW TRUCK, FLAG and PARTY!!!!  WOW!!!!  

-Lori,  from Lick 'Em Up Ice Cream, was awarded the $1000.00 Grand Prize, on August 3rd, at our awards ceremony.  She and her family worked very hard decorating the boat and did a fabulous job! Lori was announced the Grand Prize Winner. Lori came up to accept and asked to speak to Earl Stilson. She generously donated the prize winnings back to the Children's Hospital of Michigan  Foundation- Stilson Specialty Center.  Her generosity, spirit and kindness are a true example of what a HERO is.  WE commend you and honor you Lori!  Thank you for being you!

On behalf of 2019 Harrison Township Parade of Lights and Markley Marine, I would like to thank all of you for making this event a success. Thank you to all who came out to view, support, decorate your  homes or boats for this parade. We appreciate all the support and enthusiasm.
 
To our participating Captains’, the parade would not exist without you.  Thank you for all that you do to make this parade a success.  We know it is costly and time consuming to decorate these boats.  Thank you for taking the time planning, designing, decorating, purchasing lights, and spending many hours to make these boats look amazing!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

A VERY BIG THANK YOU to Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Huron Pointe Excavating and Lori’s Lick ‘Em Up Ice cream, for being our Co-sponsors this year! All three of these businesses did not hesitate to generously give.  We can’t thank you enough.

To all of our 42 sponsors who supported this event. We are so fortunate to live in a community where people join together for a great cause. It is amazing how generous all of you are. Because of this spirit, hard work and generosity, the Parade of Lights, has raised over $14,000.00 for the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation-Stilson Specialty Center.  Thank you all for another spectacular parade.

This year Art Brooks, Alpha 1, passed away.  He was dearly missed today. His spirit and enthusiasm for the parade, helped in its success for over 25 years.  We know Art is here with us today.
