Colorado messabout!

[DGentry]

Hello Rocky Mountain area boat builders - you are not alone!

In fact, there are lots of us spread out over CO, WY, and NM!

So, we are getting together for the first annual Front Range

Messabout, and everyone is welcome!

Saturday June 19th - 10:00 AM

Boyd Lake State Park, in Loveland, CO (just S of Ft. Collins).

http://parks.state.co.us/Parks/BoydLake/Pages/BoydLakeHome.aspx

We'll show off our boats, do some networking, possibly learn some

things, and do some paddling or rowing or sailing together. It'll be

low key, fun and friendly.

We'll have a little cookout (potluck), maybe some demos, and generally

have a good time. There's camping available, if you're interested -

reserve a spot early.

Canoes, kayaks, sailboats and powerboats are all welcome!

Hi Dave,

Looking at my calendar, I should be able to make it to Boyd Lake on June 19th. I plan to bring my Core Sound 20. Hope to see some interestig craft.

Only 3 days to the Colorado Boatbuilder's Messabout!

Anyone interested in home built boats - whether you've built one or not - is invited to the First Annual Front Range Messabout.

We'll introduce ourselves, show off our boats - with Q&A sessions for the builders - do some paddling, some sailing, a few demos, and generally have a good time meeting some like minded folks!

When: Saturday, June 19 starting at 10:00am

Where: Boyd Lake State Park, near Loveland, Colorado

We'll be meeting at the Mussel Beach area, at the North end of the park (away from the jet skis!). There is camping at the S end of the park, and several boat ramps and a small marina in between.

The marina store sells convenience store sundries - including sandwiches and beer - plus life jackets, bait, etc. Otherwise, you'll have to drive into Loveland for supplies.

We will have a few picnic tables next to the shore, and plan to have a canopy and a few chairs - but bring your own if you can. There's a barbecue grill, and we'll have a potluck lunch - bring anything you like.

There's running water and restrooms not too far away, and parking seems ample and close by the beach for you car toppers.

If you can't make it, drop me a line anyway, and I'll put you on the mailing list for future events!
