Pat knows the answer, but I'll say that I don't think it's at Oak's Park

this Year. Actually, I believe it's at the new waterfront park (where ever that is)on the east side of the river in downtown. I'm not sure if they still do the build/row-boat-across-river event, but it's pretty neat. My first woodenboat is the firecracker (a 9 foot rowing dory skiff-thingy), which is the boat that is built and rowed across the river in a day or maybe it's over the weekend. Some of the northern folks in the group might have more to offer about this event. It should be good, though.

Unfortunately it conflicts with the Steam Up in Brooks. :o( Boats or ancient machinery, it's a tough choice. I'm not familiar with Portland (I try to stay away from the megalopolis), do any of you know where the launch ramp and festival are and how to get to them? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry to be so long in replying about the boat show. Its really taking off and turning into a big deal. Its the last weekend in July, the 28th and 29th at the south end of the new Eastside Esplanade. There is a public dock there where exibitors can tie up. The closest, handiest launch ramp is at Willamette Park in the Johns Landing area. I'm not sure how we will be handling parking for boat trailers for exibitors, but we have something worked out. If you want to come we would love to have you. Contact Jerry Estes, the show chairman, at: mariner@qwest.net. See you there, Tom Carter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- John <jkohnen@boat-links.com> http://www.boat-links.com/ One must have a heart of stone to read the death of Little Nell by Dickens without laughing. <Oscar Wilde> No flaming, cursing or public mopery.
