Finger
Lakes Chapter 23nd Annual Boat Show
July 27th, 28th , and 29th, 2001
The Finger Lakes Chapter cordially invites you to join us at our 23rd Annual Antique and Classic Boat Show. It will be held on July 27th, 28th and 29th, 2001 in the village of Skaneateles, New York. The village is on the northern end of Skaneateles Lake. This sixteen mile long lake is one of the most beautiful Finger Lakes in upstate New York. The show is a judged event with unique awards in twenty-five categories.
Excellent in-water dockage is available for forty-two boats. Launch facilities (with plenty of help on hand to launch and reload your boats) are near the show site. Special arrangements have been made for parking of vehicles and trailers.
The land display area on the lawn along the water's edge is one of the nicest to be found. Large shade trees provide unique display opportunities, and there is plenty of space. Our display of smaller watercraft and outboard motors is one of the most popular highlights of the show. A floating dock will be available along the park wall to make launching and retrieving small craft easy. There is also a walk-in gravel launch area adjacent to the land display area.
The historic village of Skaneateles is a fun place with inviting shops, excellent restaurants and charming homes surrounding the show site. It offers great opportunities for shopping and strolling!
This year we are again offering an historic tour of Skaneateles. The tour is escorted by a staff member of the Skaneateles Historic Society. Proceeds go to help support the reSkaneateles Historic Society.
Come join us! Please look over the details included in this invitation and don't miss being apart of the Finger Lakes Chapter's 23rd Annual Antique and Classic Boat Show on beautiful Skaneateles Lake.
