Freedom and glory kept flying at the fourth annual Lake Oconee 4th of July Boat Parade on Tuesday. The parade took place at the northern end of Lake Oconee in Morgan County near Buckhead.

Joe Williamson thought of the idea for an Independence Day boat parade on Lake Oconee a few years ago. Well, the event has become a huge draw for residents on July 4th, who live on the Morgan County side of Lake Oconee.

Two years ago, Joe Williamson and his wife wanted to do something fun for the 4th of July. However, at the time, the country was still on lockdown due to the height of the pandemic.
