Whether in groups of kayaks or of rafts, the ‘First Float of the Summer’ was celebrated on Saturday, June 20 for the summer solstice, starting at the beaches of Jacob Myers Park and drifting to McHenry Recreation Area. Participants also included singles and couples, with the crowd becoming so large that park hosts had to close the gate shortly after 11 a.m. to avoid overcrowding. Ric McGinnis/The Times
