REPEAT AGAIN IN 2009
at
HURON YACHT CLUB and BOAT BASIN
Huron, Ohio
August 21 - 23
2009
~~~*~~~
The Worlds Largest Gathering
of
Chris Craft Commanders !
The fond memories are still vivid in our minds from August of 2008,
where the second biggest event in Chris Craft Commander history occurred,
those memories are now feeding excitement and planning for the repeat in 2009.
The largest impact in Commander history occurred in 1964 when the new 38 fiberglass express
was unveiled at the New York Boat Show, after having been designed and shipped in secret.
Thanks to the initiative and hard work of Matt ODonnell and Tim Toth,
and many others who helped in some way,
including everyone who attended with or without their boats,
the 2008 event at the Huron Yacht Club and Boat Basin was the largest gathering on record
of the Chris Craft Commanders, and without a doubt, the most fun.
We are going to try to break the record again in 2009 at the same location !
Here is a montage of images I tossed together quickly, to show a small fraction of the boats,
people, good will, and just plain fun we had on Lake Erie last August 2008.
You could title this Only in America.
Perhaps it should be titled Only in Huron.
Heres a little secret we would like to share with you
If you are a boating fan,(and we know you are)
and especially if you are a CHRIS CRAFT COMMANDER FAN
this could be the biggest tip of your boating career.
Simple and short, but please take heed:
Dont miss this one".
Check out this boating environment, pretty classy and comfortable, eh?
Private Yacht Club, open doors to all Commander owners and fans!
Just the ticket for a fleet of Chris Craft Commanders and classy people to rendezvous here!
We were so well behaved they're inviting us back again in 2009!
I'm very pleased to be a part of all this fun, and to be able to associate with people of this calibre. It is the best of traditional family values in America, combined with the best of boating anywhere. Part of my job, in support to the others involved with the planning and local coordination, is to be sure the word gets out on the world-wide web about this event. This is being done now through various means, including this post! Much more will follow. We had such fun in 2008, it's just too much fun not to share with people around the world, and with people who may attend in person in 2009. In fact, I would say to anyone anywhere in the USA or over seas, if you are a boating fan, and especially if you are a CHRIS CRAFT COMMANDER OWNER you should really consider hopping on a plane and heading for the Toledo Airport (small, friendly, cars are right there at your doorstep) or the Cleveland Airport (a little closer to Huron, bigtime airport), and join us in the fun. Both are within easy driving distance to Huron, Ohio on Lake Erie. It may be the biggest boating event of your lifetime, maybe not in the ultimate size because some "boat shows" can get very large, but most certainly in quality, classy accommodations, fabulous boats, and especially in the quality of people you'll be privleged to associate with. Remember, this isn't a "boat show", it's a rendezvous, and there is a big difference! Yes, indeed, it's simply that good.
Cheers to all, I'm sure looking forward to seeing everyone there!
