Kathy,
I'm reading this too late, but those old wooden boats were certainly historic.

Brian - there ae many smaller boat shows throughout the summer that are free and just as enjoyable ..... they all make great stops on a day trip.
Kathy, As a former marine dealer,before real estate, I loved the boat shows and the new and old boats on display. This event sounds like a lot of fun.
Don - I was busy but Barrie managed to get there with one of our grandsons and enjoyed it immensely
