I will once again be attending Canoecopia supporting Chesapeake Light Craft. Said to be the largest paddlesports show in North America, it is a great event to see what is going on in paddlesports of all kinds. I usually am out front of the booth doing some sort of building demonstration. I'm not sure what I'll be doing this year, but it is sure to be interesting.
Once again, I will be attending the Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend, Washington with Chesapeake Light Craft. This is a great event for anyone interested in beautiful boats.
Summer in Maine is not always sunny, but even when it isn't it is a great place to commune with boats. The Maine Boats Homes and Harbors Show in Rockland always has a diverse assortment of beatiful boats as well as everything from beach glass jewelry to diesel engines (something for everyone).
I've been exhibiting at the WoodenBoat Show for almost 20 years. It is always a fun show and a great chance to see a lot of beautiful wooden boats and the rest of Mystic Seaport Museum.
Canoecopia in Madison, Wisconsin is the biggest paddle sport shows in the country and it is the perfect antidote to the middle-of-the-winter blues.
I will be attending the Wooden Boat Festival out in Port Townsend, Washington for the first time this year. I'm really looking forward to it. I've heard great things about it. The festival website says:
Guillemot Kayaks has been showing at the WoodenBoat Show since 1995. I missed a few when the show moved out west, but I make a point of going when it is close by. Mystic Seaport is about as close as it gets, about 10 minutes from my shop.
