Fleet 132, the Muskrats, of LaCrosse, Wisconsin are looking into the possibility of displaying one or two Day Sailers at a boat show. Potential locations include Chicago, Minneapolis or LaCrosse, and it's likely that it will be early 2004 before we can get a space. I would like to hear from other members who have worked at boat shows to get their input and benefit from their experiences. I have also been thinking about putting together a video tape or DVD with scenes from DS events such as regattas, cruises or fleet get togethers to run at the show. Have any of you done this already, or do any of you have footage that you would be willing to copy and share? Also, if any of you have creative ideas about displays, I'd appreciate hearing them.
If you reply to this email, please include "DS" or "Day Sailer" in the subject line so I can easily identify the message. If you wish you can email me off-list. Thanks in advance for your help.
