The main group of boats in the first ever Seeley Lake Boat Parade crawls passed the middle of Seeley Lake and gets closer to the Big Larch Campground. The event was organized by the Tamaracks Resort. They lost count after 100 entries. Many boaters joined the parade after the start, causing a traffic jam of watercraft. The Seeley Lake Historical Society called the event, "Unofficially the greatest assemblage of watercraft on Seeley Lake in history."

The orange tape seen on the front bay doors was used as a boundary between servers and the patrons.

Shiver, a local band, sings in unison to the crowd at the Fat Hippie. The band played classic rock hits, with a few pop songs mixed in. They called the night early after rain battered the parking lot and left standing water near the stage.
