Saturday in the Park

From the 3 July Beloit (WI) Daily News....

George Seurat had a “Sunday Afternoon on the Island of LaGrande Jatte,” and Beloit, Wisconsin now has “Saturday in the Park with Friends.”

Beloiters brought to life the famous painting by the French artist Saturday afternoon in an effort to promote an August event planned by Friends of Riverfront. And while people were positioned similarly along the Rock River, Beloit's version of Seurat's work had its own flair.

When I came across this article last week the yellow sailboat
in the re-creation photo, top, caught my eye. Does Beloit have
a Flying Scot fleet? Is that a yellow 'Scot? Reminds me of my
first Flying Scot (#1159, in what 1969?) which was yellow, and
of the long-gone weekend afternoons on Portage Lake in the
lakeside "park" at what then was Newport Beach Club, now PYC.
