Judges in kayaks will observe the boats along the parade route. Prizes (first, second and third place) will be awarded. The only decoration requirement is the displaying of the American flag.

Please observe all safe distance and mask guidelines. Happy Fourth!
The Annual Meeting of the Canobie Lake Protective Association was held on Sunday, July 28, 2019 at the Searles School in Windham, NH.
The meeting recognized Ginny Campiola with a standing ovation. She is retiring as Secretary after 17 years of service on the board. She has been responsible for membership drives, maintained the membership list, composed the regular newsletters and done many other things too numerous to list. She was given a personalized embroidered carry-all bag, and a gift card as tokens of our appreciation.

Read MoreThe CLPA held its Annual Meeting on August 5 at the Searles School in Windham. The guest speaker was NH State Senator Chuck Morse, who discussed the "Southern Route" pipeline proposal to provide Salem (and nearby towns) with an additional Water Source. The CLPA supports this proposal, and advocates that Salem "buy in" for the maximum amount of water available. We believe this is the best chance to protect the water levels of Canobie Lake for years to come.

The CLPA held its Annual Meeting on July 19 at the Searles School and Chapel in Windham. Members began arriving at 6:30 PM and browsed through the information displays that were arranged around the room. There was a display of 182 brand-new photos of waterfront homes posted on the walls of the room. The photos were arranged in order, so walking around the room was like a cruise around the lake! Special thanks to Marian Johnson for the photography, and Ginny Campiola for the inspiration.
Read MoreThanks to all of the enthusiastic participants in the boat parade! There were about 27 boats in the parade – a very nice turnout.

Read MoreThe July 4 Canobie Lake Boat Parade went off without a hitch... on July 5. The weather was beautiful then. Thanks to all 15 boats that participated. Everyone seemed to have a great time. The judges had difficulty deciding on the prizes, with all the fine entries. Below are photos of the winners, taken by Jay Johnson and Marian Westerberg.
Read MoreWe kept hoping the weather forecast for tomorrow would improve, but it hasn't. They are forecasting rain, and heavy rain, from 9 AM through 5 PM. Not much fun boating in that! The forecast for Saturday, July 5, is very good. So we will postpone the parade until Saturday at 1 PM. Please join us then for a fun Independence Day celebration. We'll enjoy it much more then!
Read MoreCurrently (July 3, 10 AM), rain is forecast for July 4. Our "decision team" would like to wait until this evening to decide on postponement. They argue that hurricanes do change course, slow down, etc., and they would hate to postpone only to find that the weather is OK on July 4. We'll put a notice here this evening. If we do postpone, it will likely be to Saturday at 1 PM. Sorry for the uncertainty.
Read MoreMark your calendars, please. We're having our annual meeting and social on Sunday July 27 at 6:30 PM, at the Searles School, 3 Chapel Road in Windham (next to Delahunty's Nursery). We're trying a different time and format this year. Let us know how you like it. We're planning an enjoyable outing, a "party", with dessert and light adult beverages. The agenda will include election of officers for next year.
If any member is interested in serving on the board of CLPA, please contact any board member in advance, and come to the meeting on 7/27/14.
