Lake Monsters Cruise: June 18th
Posted by: Loren Coleman on June 16th, 2009
Cruise on Lake Champlain with 2009 Lake Monsters on June 18th.
That’s the minor league baseball team named the “Lake Monsters,” of course.
On Thursday, June 18th, 2009, there will be a cruise on Lake Champlain with the 2009 Lake Monster players, coaches and Champ (the team mascot). The cruise is open to the public. Tickets are $15 (+tax) for adults and $10 (+tax) for kids 12 and under.
The menu for the evening will be pulled pork sandwiches, McKenzie Ball Park Franks, potato salad, pasta salad, chicken wings, peanuts, popcorn, and cookies. There will also be a cash bar on board.
Boarding for the cruise will begin at 5:45pm on the King Street Ferry Dock and will run until 8pm. Tickets for the cruise are available by calling 864-9669, going to this website or going to the Lake Champlain Cruise offices also located on the King Street Ferry Dock.
Let me know if any of you on the cruise sees the “real” Lake Champlain Monsters!
“Ellen Marsden, a fisheries biologist at the University of Vermont, has become the default expert on Champ, but she says that most of the more than 300 sightings can be attributed to something else.” ~ 2007.

Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
Too bad about the rash of recent Lake Monster sightings … right before the cruise, too. How unfortunate. Now they’ll be mobbed by the throngs clamoring to see “the real Champ”.
NOW that’s my kind of cruise!!!!!!!!!
Should be good for business…and hopefully someone or several someones will have some camera capabilities on board just in case their mascot decides to do a photo-op!
How was the cruise, anyone go? Would love it to hear a Champtanystropheus swam up and plucked that ridiculous mascot off the deck for a snack!
