The 2010 Seminole Hard Rock - Winterfest Boat Parade is just over a month away (can you believe it???!) and they just announced the grand marshals for the event.  Ready?....The grand marshals will be reality TV person Kim Kardashian and basketball star Alonzo Mournin.  There will be co-grand marshals this year.  I can maybe understand Alonzo...but Kim Kardashian? 

The theme this year is "That's Entertainment" which encourages boat owners to create individual 'floating theaters'.  This could make for an interesting year.

You better get your viewing spot all in order as I'm sure this year is going to be very busy.  It's a yearly tradition that the whole family can enjoy...and it won't cost you a fortune.  Start planning for those Holiday events now.

Here is some information I pulled from Winterfest's official website:
