8:30 Music and Dancing 🎶
Saturday
Breakfast: at the club, on your boat, in the town!
Morning: As a club we will be decorating our PYC parade boat! Then tour Tacoma or relax a bit.
Afternoon: 'THE TOKEN PARADE' at 1:30pm. This is a pretty crazy tradition. We will have a team of 5 club members who will be dressed up to parade around the Tacoma Yacht Club facility, then go inside and compete in a Jeopardy style trivia contest to win judges points that add to our overall weekend competition among the many Yacht Club contestants. Not in that 5? No worries as we need a HUGE fan club to get them ready, cheer them on, then we also go inside to watch the trivia contest and cheer crazy loud for our PYC contingent. Come cheer on the PYC contingent in a crazy walking (not boat) parade up around the Yacht Club.
Dinner: TBD We may organize a club potluck dinner or there is also a buffet dinner at TYC.
Live Band! - Head back to TYC for a live band and dancing Saturday night 🎶
