The Dixie Boat

North Webster is a unique little town with a rich history and a beautiful lake.  For these reasons, Brian and I decided to have our wedding in the small town that we will both call home after July 4, 2009.  There is a culture here that we wish to share with both our family and friends.   It is our hope that you catch a small glimpse of the town called North Webster and why it is “home.”  One of the areas we our highlighting on our “big day” is the Dixie Boat.  All of our guests will be able to ride on this boat between our wedding and reception for a fun cruise around Webster Lake.  This particular Dixie Boat has been running on the waters of Lake Webster since 1929!  For a wonderful history of the Dixie Boat, please click here.

Currently the Dixie Boat is under construction.  She stays in the water all winter long and during this time, she undergoes some much love and tender care from her long running summer.  You can see from the picture below that she is boarded up, the benches and the railings are gone (even though I noticed that a few railings were slowing being added when I took this picture).

Now the real questions is…will she be ready for July4???  The leadership of the Dixie ensures me (within reason) that the Dixie will be up and ready just in time for Memorial Day!  So, if you are anticipating this boat ride and just can’t stand it anymore…you can come up for a visit and we can take it for a whirl. 

Dixie Boat is now on Facebook!
