Boat Show

I was able to attend the antique & classic boat show on Saturday July 28th. I must admit that the this year seemed to lacking alot of boats from last year. I feel the the boat show has lost it's flavor since it has been moved from the Wiers.

Maybe the weather had something to do with it? It was showering all morning into afternoon. That could have dampened attendance?

Nope. Not just the weather. Many of us have stopped entering our boats because we don't like the way they tie up and display in Meredith. My 1937 Gar Wood was a part of the show from 1992 through the first year it moved and that was the last for me. Think about it. Many of us keep these old boats out of tradition. The Weirs was a "tradition". What were they thinking would happen?
