The Abbey Resort to Host Annual Geneva Lakes Antique and Classic Boat Show

FONTANA, Wis. - July 31, 2015 - PRLog -- The Geneva Lakes Antique and Classic Boat Show, featuring vintage watercrafts from around the country, will be held in Fontana, Wisconsin Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27 with pre-events beginning Friday, September 25. The event is presented by the Blackhawk Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society and hosted by The Abbey Resort.

Held annually in the harbor of the Abbey Marina on the western end of Geneva Lake, the boat show allows land lovers, enthusiastic boaters, and everyone in between the unique opportunity to enjoy the excitement of this nationally renowned event.  While the majority of participating boats have a homeport registration within Wisconsin or Illinois, regular entries hail from as far away as Florida and California.

Participating boats registered for the upcoming 2015 show include antique and classic runabouts, as well as utility, lapstrake, outboard, and Streblow boats. All registered classic and antique boats will be on display in the Abbey Marina both Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., and a parade of participating boats is scheduled for Saturday at 4:00 p.m. Viewing of the displays and the parade is free and open to the public; guests are invited to attend to enjoy beautiful boats, live music, great food, and local vendors.

A favorite part of the show for many registrants is competing for awards, including Best Pre-War, Best Post-War, and Most Historic. Additionally, a People’s Choice Award as voted upon by attendees is announced Sunday at 2:00 pm. Additional events including private tours, receptions, and an awards dinner are available for a fee through advance registration.
