PD: Drunken, Disorderly Conduct Among Long List of Fish Day Incidents

By early morning on "Fishmas Eve" chairs and blankets spotted the downtown Port Washington area, saving seats for the annual Port Washington Fish Day parade.

The preparation begs the question, "How early, is too early?" The answer might just lie in the Port Washington police reports.

At 9:51 a.m. July 17 (four days before the festival) a blanket and three chairs were brought to the police department that had been set out in an attempt to reserve a spot.

Hopefully that group didn't miss out on any of the floats because of their advanced planning.
