Happy 4th of July!  To celebrate, we thought we would share this great slideshow video which highlights photos from the Lewes 4th of July Boat Parade.  Today’s event starts at 2:00 p.m. today if you are in town.  We suggest staking out a viewing spot from either side of the canal or on the draw bridge.
