On Saturday, at least two boat parades were held at Georgia lakes with participants aiming to honor President Donald Trump and America.

Mark McKinnon, a public affairs officer with the state Department of Natural Resources, said Friday that he expected about 1,000 people to attend the Trump Boat Parade at Clarks Hill Lake outside of Augusta, while another 500 people were expected at the Trump and America Boat Parade at Lake Allatoona near Acworth.

By Saturday, more than 650 people had signed up to attend the Allatoona event in Cobb County on the boat parade’s Facebook page.

Boaters were invited to bring their boat and flag to participate in the event. Several other gatherings are planned across the country. The boat parades saluting Trump have been held throughout the summer, with others in Georgia including Walter F. George Lake (Lake Eufala) south of Columbus and Lake Blackshear between Americus and Cordele.
