' Night In Venice' Starts Sat. at 6

OCEAN CITY - "Night In Venice," the only boat parade and celebration held on the Jersey Shore, grows larger every year. This Saturday, more than 100 boats are expected to wind through pity

lagoons from the Longport Bridge to South Harbor. Hundreds of homes along the route will be decorated with themes ranging from Oriental fantasies, featuring multi-colored lanterns glowing from the docks, to more contemporary considerations such as the Phillies' quest for the National League Pennant. The palpde begins at 6 p.m. from the north point of the island. A trio of Coast Guard helicopters will buzz over the route to signal the start. The Lead boat will contain state Sen. James R. Hurley, parade marshal, and Victoria Schmidt, state director of totirism, who will represent Governor Thom^trTt'Kean. NIGHT/IN VENICE one' of the largest boat parades in the world, is the only event of its kind on the Jersey Shore that has survived the years. Other boat parades have been held at different intervals. Night In Venice has been held continuously since the early '50s when it was initiated by Jack Jernee, Beach Patrol captain, and Arthur Watkins, then the city Public Relations Director. Watkins 'had previously noted a boat parade in Venice Italy while visiting the area as a tour director. The Italian festival has religious significance and involves boats that sail to an island outside of Venice where ceremonies are held. Boats are decorated with plain white lights without themes. From all reports. Ocean City's parade is more colorful because of the various themes and spirited competition for prizes in both decorated boat and home competitions. George Mimnagh, chairman of the event, is an experienced navigator whb has served as commander of the Absecon Island Power Squadron. Mimnagh and his committee begin in January holding meetings with the Coast Guard and also line up lead boats then. Mimnagh also personally visits marinas throughout the area to insure participation. "We are fortunate to have a dedicated committee headed by someone like George Mimnagh," said Mark Soifer, city public relations director. "One of the reasons this event has thrived over the years is because local people have always come forth to direct it.' We could never hold Night in Venice without

this experienced volunteerv help." {\ Mimnagh is assisted by A his wife, Jean, David / Winslow and Annette \ Tecce. A group of lagoon captains throughout the city help to register those who decorate homes. The event is sponsored by the city, the Chamber of Commerce I and McDonald's Restaurants, which are involved in the event for the first time this year. Miss Night In Venice and her court will be on one of the lead boats. She is chosen by donations which benefit the city Rescue Squad. She is crowned during a ceremony at the Ocean City Music Pier.
