Over the years Lillie May has participated in Tug Fest, first with her original owner and then several times with us. Tug Fest is a local annual festival for workboats, most of which have been modified to become cruisers. They all dock at the Municipal wharf and offer tours, parades and races for the locals to enjoy. There are usually musicians and a festive atmosphere on the dock.
We were glad to re-enter Lillie May as many locals remembered her. Again, she was a hit with the little ones and made a great backdrop for pictures with kids at the helm donning a captain's hat.

| Lillie May racing the Mink Isle - which is funny as it is only the camera angle that is making it look like Lillie May is a big girl. The Mink Isle is a 49' steel tug that is beautifully restored and travels quite a bit faster than little Lillie May. Lillie May will take her glory how she can. |
