Many thanks to the fine ACBS / Antique Boat Museum staff, volunteers, excursion captains and remarkable members in attendance over the past week at the 50th Anniversary International Boat Show event in the stunningly beautiful 1000 Islands, Clayton, NY. It was a bucket list event!
Congratulations to all. Beautiful show.
On this listing of award winners, a picture of the boat would be appreciated and should show or at least have a link to the picture. After all, isn’t it about showing these beautiful boats. Beverly Detwiler, Lake Champlain Chapter.
