It all started in 1988 with a mere 10 boats and an idea. Now 28 years later, it’s grown in to a daylong spectacle with over 50 antique wood boats. And after 28 years both boaters and enthusiasts alike say it’s all about tradition. And although the boat show is all about something old, there’s something new every single year. The show has been only open to wooden boats for the past 28 years, but they are considering adding a fiberglass division to keep building the show’s popularity.
