It's great news that the annual Boca Raton Boat Parade will be taking place again this year with the help of some very generous local business people. The parade takes place on Dec. 20 and starts at 6:30pm at the C-15 canal and heads southbound. If anyone would like to enter their boat call Lilly at 561.393.7827 or 561.239.1536. The more boats the better.
Even the dogs live the good life in Boca Raton. The Canine Cove Dog Park is up and running at South County Regional Park just off of Glades Rd. in West Boca Raton. This is a Palm Beach County facility which is very nicely laid out with separate areas for big dogs and small dogs. Enjoy one of three gazebos, water fountains for your dogs and even a pet washing station. The hours are sunrise to sunset but it does close on Wednesday from 12 noon to 3pm.
