Note from the July 11, 2009 Waupaca Antique & Classic Wooden Boat Show Organizers:
Hello Fellow Boating Enthusiasts,
One behalf of the organizers, I want to thank you all personally for making our 3rd Annual Antique and Classic Wooden Boat Show and Parade a huge success! I think everyone that made it Friday night had a great time talking boats and planning for Saturday. And what can we say about Saturday? It was great to see old friends and make new ones and hang out talking boats. The weather cooperated, we had lots of wonderful boats again this year and we thank you for sharing yours with all of us.
Special thanks to Pat and Maureen of Clearwater Harbor for providing such a great place for our show! Thank you to all your employees who helped make the day a success. Also thanks to Carl and the crew at Chain ‘O Lakes Marine for all the help getting the boats in and out of the water. And thank you to the hundreds of people that came to look at our boats. We couldn’t have had a show without all of you!
Thank you to all the boat owners for all the help with landing the boats, mooring and making sure none were damaged in the windy process. We really appreciate all the help at the docks and couldn’t do it without you. As soon as we firm up next year’s date we will post it on the website. We hope you will all plan to attend again next year. Let’s see if we can make it even bigger and better!
We had so many great boats this year again that it was difficult to vote for the favorites; however, we had to vote and here are the results:
