While the candidates are sweeping the country making their plea for the Presidency, supporters on both sides of the aisle are holding their own signs of support. Here in New York State, for example, there are at least 3 Trump boat parades planned in the coming weeks.

The 2024 Trump Flotilla will take place at 12 Noon on Saturday August 31st on Oneida Lake in Central New York. Boaters are encouraged to display American flags, Trump flags and Back the Blue flags for this parade.

One concern some folks have raised is wake disruption to the docks, smaller boats and swimmers. According to the Post Star, a similar, less organized, event took place in 2020. For that parade individuals complained that the large waves caused damage to docks and endangered lives.

For this years event on Lake George organizers have created a set of rules.

• Adhere to the parade route
• No jetskis
