SUBJECT:  Boat Show Entry Information

We are excited to invite you to our 4nd Annual Antique & Classic Wooden Boat Show, back by popular demand. The event will take place on Saturday, July 10th this year at Clearwater Harbor. The in-water show will begin at 11:00am followed again by a parade through the Chain O’ Lakes. Along with wooden boats, we welcome any type of antique boat at least 35 years old.

We are inviting all participants and their guest(s) to join us at the Harbor Friday night the 9th beginning at 6:00pm for a get together. This is a great time to renew acquaintances and meet fellow participants. We’ve had a great time in previous years! Depending on the number, the Harbor Bar will make an area available for us for those who wish to dine.

On Saturday, plan to arrive by 10:00am or earlier to allow us time for the docking of boats. We will again have volunteers available to assist with landing and docking of your boat. We appreciate anyone who wishes to arrive early and help. Please bring along rope, boat bumpers and an anchor. Once we have all the boats moored, spectators will be allowed on the docks to view the boats.

We will have placards posted on the dock near each boat with your information on it. Again this year  we will have awards for the following categories:  “People’s Choice”, “Best Inboard”, “Best Outboard”, Best Non-Motorized”, and “Captain’s Pick”.  Voting will be done by participants and spectators. We will have a 4rd annual nice quality T-shirt, a sleeveless T-Shirt or a tank top available this year for purchase. They are sold to participants at our cost. If you are interested in a T-shirt please include the number, type and size on the entry form so we can have them available.

Please complete the attached entry form and return it to Barry Tomaras, 323 Tioga Street, Waupaca, WI 54981 or scan and email it to btomaras@charter.net.  Entry forms should be returned as soon as possible to assure your spot in the show as space may be limited. More information will follow for participants.

The cost of entry is $15 again this year. Everything is done with volunteer help. The Chain ‘O Lakes Association is providing some money for advertising our show this year. The entry fees are used to help defray the costs of putting on the show and also to pay for the awards. Last year we were able to make a donation of $100 to the Wisconsin Association of Lakes (WAL) a non-profit organization working to protect our lakes.

We are looking forward to another successful show and hope you are able to join us this year!
