Boat Shows Around the Horn

The weekend is busy with boat shows around the world, of all different flavors. Antique boat shows, houseboat shows, and even a couple of traditional boat shows are starting today.

Among this weekend's events are the following boat shows:

• The 50th Anniversary edition of the Brisbane Boat Show in Australia (Started on Thursday, which is already yesterday in the land down under)
• The On Water Houseboat Expo in Kentucky (Starts Friday)
• The Port Credit In-Water Show in Ontario, Canada (Starts Friday)
• The 28th Annual Antique & Classic Boat Festival in Salem, Massachusetts (Sat and Sun only)
• The Toledo Antique and Classic Boat Show in Toledo, Ohio (Sat and Sun only)

Come to Boston
After a lull next weekend as we celebrate Labor Day in the US, we jump right into an early autumn boat show season. Among the many shows we're excited about this year is the Boston Fall Boat Show, happening October 1 - 3 at the Seaport World Trade Center. This is Boston's premier showing of the new model 2011 boats, so you'll want to check it out. If you're from out of town, this is a great excuse to come to Boston. Heck, you can even make a long weekend out of it as this is also usually the best time to check out New England's famous fall foliage. Check the show's site for coupons to get into the show.
