Burning of the socks !

Years ago when we lived in Annapolis we would celebrate arrival of spring with the annual tradition “Burning of the socks”

This  unique Annapolis tradition has now spread far and wide, and will be observed at York River State Park in Williamsburg on Saturday March 24, 2012 | from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Celebrate the 2012 canoe and kayak season with a Chesapeake Bay sailing tradition. Take off your socks and burn them with the rangers. Then join them for a guided trip into Taskinas Creek and the York River. Bring your own watercraft and pay only for parking.

Equipment rentals are canoes – $9/person or $6/person (family of 4+), solo kayaks – $16/person, tandem kayaks – $11/person.
