TV Buoys and now Live Buoys

Recently, we had a Bluey Buoy about a TV dog character. Today, we have a live dog buoy submitted by Alisa Lecours of Niantic. Alisa has depicted on her buoy her pet Chocolate Lab, Jack. On the back side, she has painted “Plenty of Fish”, which was the name of a dating website on which she and her husband met years ago. Of course, that is also now the name of their boat. The real life Jack seems very content sailing on that boat.

  • Return a buoy by November 15th to ensure it is up for Opening Night on Nov. 22, 2024.
  • The tree display will run from Nov. 22 to mid-January.

Then, the buoys will be returned to their owners to cherish.

By buying a buoy; you are supporting both the East Lyme Public Trust Foundation and the Niantic Main Street group. Both of these organizations use the proceeds of this event to finance many projects to support our community. Last year $3,000 E.L.P.T.F. donated$3,000 directly to local non-profit organizations based on proceeds from this project.
