Families enjoyed a party in the parking lot at the Blue Marlin Inn on Sunday, Dec. 1.

To celebrate the Christmas season, there were free hot dogs for the children, hot chocolate, music for dancing to, fire pits to warm the hands and the jolly gent Santa Claus. There were also vendors on site and hayrides for everyone.

At 7:30, the giant tree was lit, as well as the Nativity Scene.

The Blue Marlin Inn will be holding their annual Sail Past event on Sunday, Dec. 8 at Harbour Quay. From 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., watch the decorated boats and enjoy hot cocoa, hot dogs, live music and carolling, fireworks and firepits. Santa will also be on scene.
