Trinidad Blessing of the Fleet

Trinidad

The Trinidad Blessing of the Fleet Committee invites you to join us for the 23rd Annual Blessing of the Fleet on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday November 22,2018 at 10:00 a.m. at the Harbor Overlook on the corner of Trinity and Edwards Streets in Trinidad. This is an opportunity for our community to come together and bless the fishermen, fishing families and Coast Guard of our community for their efforts and to provide for their safety on the ocean. It is a family friendly event. Axel Lindgren III and his family will give a traditional Native blessing facing to the four directions followed by a blessing from Officiant Dana Hope, M.A. The Trinidad Rancheria will warm us up with complimentary coffee, hot chocolate and snacks. Music is by DJ Kevin Held. Each year the Trinidad School 4th grade students draw pictures of the boats in the Trinidad Fishing Fleet and write poems to honor our fishermen. One drawing will be used for next year’s poster. Be sure to check out their colorful art display hanging along the fence at the Trinidad Bay B&B across from the Harbor Viewpoint. This year’s poster art was drawn last year by Jamieanne O’Donell. Our event is made possible THANKS to our sponsors: The Trinidad Bay Fishermen’s Marketing Association, The Greater Trinidad Chamber of Commerce, and the Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community of the Trinidad Rancheria. For 23 years a group of hard-working Commercial Fishermen’s wives and loved ones put on this event at the start of crab season to send out some love and blessings to our local fishermen. Our extended community is encouraged to come and join us in sending as many blessings as possible to the dedicated men and women who work on the water. Come enjoy and share this local gathering!
