Keep up with the Manchaug Pond Foundation!
Our Manchaug Pond spectators were spectacular! From the shore came salutes and thumbs-up to the lead boat, more than one Yabba Dabba Doo!, blasts on the air horns, and the D.J. at King’s announcing there was a shark in the water! Here’s a few photos of our spectators: Floating dock at the Old Holbrook’s Campground Holdbrook’s Campground and the Bathtime entry. The floating dock at King’s Family Campground. They loved all the entries and we loved all the enthusiasm!
