Naples is filled with the holiday spirit and it showed this past weekend with the annual boat parade and the many homes all aglow and decorated. Naples Improvement Association members were tasked with selecting the best of the best on the water and on land. The following is their choices. Winning the small boat parade through Naples canals were Cerritos Bahia Yacht Club (entry #24), Grand Prize; Morry’s of Naples (#5), Best Theme; Bryan Aanot (#26), Best Use of Lights; Vivian Gosnell and Juliet Tomac (#50), Most Original; John and Nanette Brodie (#44), Best Costumes; and AeroDragons (#29), Best Dragon Boat. In the large boat parade, Rick Hittinger’s boat (#103) won for most original; Drew Miser (#3) won best theme; Stan Lawrence (#2) received the award for best use of lights; and Larry and Peggy Weaver (#10) had the best music. Fifteen homes and three blocks were honored with awards in the 2005 home decorating contest. Winning the sweepstakes award were Noreen and Nuch Trutanich at 175 Rivo Alto Canal.
