From Virginia-
Sponsored by St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Fleeton and Omega Protein, the Reedville celebration has evolved over the last 40 years to include crab potters, pound net fishermen, the menhaden fleet and pleasure boats from the Northern Neck and beyond, said Kristine Gibson on behalf of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church.
At 3:30 p.m., a parade of boats will proceed up Cockrell’s Creek to the old Morris-Fisher factory tall stack property off Menhaden Road. The ceremony will begin at 4 p.m. The parade will be led by the Chesapeake Breeze and the Elva C, escorted by James Vanlandingham and Lisa Gruper on the Virginia Marine Resources Commission patrol boat, said Gibson. Omega Protein will be represented by the Smugglers Point.
Choir members from St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Bethany United Methodist Church and the Reedville Chorale will lead the singing under the direction of organist Carina Kline. Participating clergy and the choir will ride to the ceremony aboard the Elva C., the flagship of the Reedville Fishermen’s Museum’s heritage boat collection, she said.
