2014 Fall Fair Parade

A great big thank you to all who worked so hard to come up with creative ideas to show what AMIB is all about, and who went all out to decorate not only their boats but also dress in nautical style.

The 2014 edition of the Fall Fair sponsored by the Mayne Island Agricultural Society was once again a well-attended and highly entertaining success. A big part of the Fall Fair was the parade which included AMIB entries.

Congratulations to AMIB for winning 1st place in the Car/Truck float division of the parade.

"Whatever Floats Your Boat"

2014 Fall Fair

Congratulations!

AMIB made a big splash at the 2014 Fall Fair parade!
The flotilla included:

John and Thomi Glover leading the way with our slogan, "Whatever boat you float... whatever floats your boat" and an invitation to "Join Us."
Bryan Westby in his decorated truck pulling a sailboat that was built by former AMIB Pres. Al Maxwell.
Elspeth Westby looking very nautical as she paraded a sign urging folks to sign up for boating courses.
Sharon Bunnin cruising down the hill wearing a sailboat complete with mainsail and pennants.
Carl Bunnin cycling down pulling a customized cart carrying their dog, Buddy under a shade umbrella .
Completely decked out in kayaking gear including paddle, Allen Slade pulling his kayak on its cradle.

Anita Colley and Judy Kiyooka modelling the latest in life jackets.
June Hamer passing out candies - lifesavers - of course.
...then to top it all off, came the display created by Gary and Joanne Westby, who along with grandson Jake dressed to the hilt in pirate garb atop their gleaming powerboat. Son Kirk drove the truck (which was playing boating music)
