Saugatuck Lights
The crane at Bridgebrook Marina on Riverside Ave reflected in the Saugatuck river
Many residents of the Saugatuck section of town have brightened the holiday season with beautiful Christmas light displays. Bridgebrook Marina owner Robbie Guimond decided to re-purpose his 70' crane from lifting boats to lifting spirits and spent a full day rigging the lights. Robbie told WestportLocal that he wanted to give back to the community that has been good to his Marina down through the years and has also supported the Westport Paddle Club owned by him and his wife Taryn. Robbie wanted to give the community a little boost in light of the recent COVID outbreak and those traveling across the Cribari bridge will no doubt appreciate the gesture, and the hard work!
