Boasting a variety of light displays, from dancing gingerbread men to a train that makes an appearance every year, each boat owner decorates his or her boat, many with music accompanying the light displays. "You can literally hear the kids oohing and aahing when they see a boat for the first time," Sullivan says. Dedicated members ensure the parade happens rain or shine. More than 3,000 people come to watch the parade, which ranges from 12 to 26 boats. "It really is an important part of Christmas on the lake. My kids haven't known their childhood without it; many people plan their Christmas parties around the parade," Sullivan says. Even though the parade is about fun and entertainment, safety is a major priority. "We want to do everything we can to make sure it is as safe as possible," he says.

Tour of Homes gives back The women of Weiss Lake have found a way to bring together breathtaking Christmas decorations and scenery along with friends and neighbors giving back during the holiday season. Hosted by the Women's Club of Weiss Lake, the Tour of Homes was founded 26 years ago by Therese Gunter Livingston, whom the tour honored this year. Guests buy tickets for $5 and follow a map to both private homes and the popular Secret Bed and Breakfast for inspiring décor unique to each homeowner. The Peddler's Market, a local favorite, opens its doors for refreshments as well. Marsha and Rich Weiss, new to the Weiss Lake community, hosted one of the home tours this year. The couple retired from Indiana, settling in a ridge-top home with sweeping views of the lake.
