Hello Boaters,
We are a few days away from the 9th Annual White Bear Lake Classic & Vintage Boat Show. All details have been finalized and we are ready to go.
Plan your trip to the White Bear area to arrive between 8:00 am and 9:30 am. The show officially starts at 10 am. The hours of the show are 10 am to 4 pm.
Important travel information: Highway 61 is under construction from the White Bear Shopping Center through downtown White Bear Lake. The best route for boaters coming from out of town is to come north about 3 miles on Highway 61 from Interstate 694 to the intersection with White Bear Avenue. You will know you are getting close when you pass Polar Chevrolet (very large polar bear statue) and then drive past Goose Lake, which will be on both sides of the highway. The White Bear Avenue intersection is at the beginning of the construction area on Highway 61. A landmark at this intersection is the Wells Fargo branch bank that is in front of you on the right side. Turn right on White Bear Avenue and drive past Kowalski's Market. Boat Show personnel will be there to direct you into the Boat Show staging area where we will move boats and displays into place as quickly and efficiently as possible. Vehicles should then be moved into the parking lot of the Shopping Center. Once in position, please go to the Boat Show Information Tent on Lake Avenue where you will receive you registration packet. The packet contains the display card for your boat or display, a 2014 commemorative sticker, the 2014 boat show poster and several other items and pieces of information. Go to the "Contact" tab on our Boat Show website for a Google map of the area.
Here is the schedule for the day:
8:00 - 9:30 Boats arrive and are placed along Lake Avenue
10:00 - 4:00 Boat Show + the Art Fair at the White Bear Shopping Center
3:15 Awards presentation on the deck at Admiral D's
4:00 Show ends
There will be a number of food and drink options at the show. Food will be available at Admiral D's Waterfront Tavern, Tally's Dockside/CG Hooks BBQ, Taco Johns, Kowalski's Market and Sam Thai restaurant.
Captain Jack Sparrow is coming up from the Caribbean to spend the afternoon with us.
