The Boat Show, an annual event at mumfest for the past 10 years, has been a well-attended venue, however there is so much interest in other outdoor recreational activities we decided to explore expanding the Boat Show to include vendors, exhibits and demonstrations that promote many other popular outdoor activities such as kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, biking, fishing etc. We had a meeting with some of the owners of businesses that sell recreational goods to get their input; would they be interested in participating, would they have demos, do they think this would be a hit with festival-goers and the answer was yes. We are delighted and are now moving forward planning for this venue. It will be located in the space north (left) of the road into Union Point Park which is large enough to accommodate exhibitors, have demonstrations and related activities.
We would appreciate getting feedback/input from readers. Would you visit this venue? If you are in the recreational business would you consider being a vendor? And, what do you think will enhance this attraction?
