“Bling Your Boat”

You’ve seen homes that go through extreme makeovers for television, or cars that are pimped out, straight guys get a complete fashion rejuvenation and even the ladies are transformed with a lift, tuck, or snip.

Well, we thought it was time to give your old friend a complete makeover with a new and unique contest… “Bling Your Boat”.

To enter the “Bling Your Boat” contest, send at least one photo of your boat. Maybe she needs new canvass, a windshield, or a complete paintjob. Write a short story describing what needs to be done, and why you want it refurbished. Send both the written note and the photos here (boatshow@mindspring.com) by the August 1st. deadline for consideration. We’ll review your “Bling Your Boat” story and select a winner by October 1, 2008.

Welcome to the 53rd Annual Spokane National Boat Show

There is a lot of exciting new things at the show this year we have again expanded the show almost 10,000 additional square feet to accommodate some new exhibits.

You will also notice the program this year has maps of 4 of the area lakes which show the launches and some of the services on those lakes, we plan to expand this for next year to include the Marina’s and even more facilities.

I would also like to say thank you to the dealer’s who have very graciously donated prizes for this year, they are:

  • Tobler‘s Marine:  a Pontoon Boat, Motor, and Trailer.
  • Roosevelt Recreation Enterprises: a weeklong houseboat Vacation at Lake Roosevelt
  • Eagle Marine Supply: for a 13 foot diameter water trampoline.
  • Hagadone Hospitality: for an overnight stay in the beautiful Couer d’Alene Resort

Also this year be sure to stop by Precision Propellor’s Booth in the front Plaza and donate to the Sheriff’s water rescue boat. These guys risk their life to make sure we are all safe, let’s help them get the equipment they need to do the job well.

Please feel free to e-mail me at boatshow@mindspring.com with suggestions for what you would like to see at the upcoming shows. And check this site for info on some exciting on the water events.

See you on the water.
