As a regular guest at the Midwest All Classics Show (formerly the Fiberglassics Nationals) over the last dozen years. I'd like to remind everyone that this may be the best chance to see some of the most incredible boats the glass community has ever imagined. It's usually a nice boat run, a float-in restaurant and this year for the first time - overnight docks. Display on the grounds or in the water.
One of the first runnings ever of a Cadillac Sea Lark is scheduled for Saturday Afternoon. Go to the boatsinthebelfry.com forum link below to get motel discount details and the restaurant locations. It would be great to see some the the FG folks back at this very special get together, hosted by the Midwest Glasspar Club.

Here's a pic until I get a video made. ( I don't have a lot of runtime video from this year because I helped at least four or five people launch their boats. Seriously, I was a jinx. The motors wouldn't start. Beautiful, perfect boats that wouldn't run because I touched them. I plan to see an exorcist (if KevFin will pay for it)
So, not so much of that jerky, wind noise boat run footage I'm famous for. I am enormously impressed with myself for predicting what a great Show this would be. Even Del liked it. Don't direct questions about the saucer boat to me, I just gawked at it like everyone else. Last and probably least is my boat that didn't quite get wired in time for the Show. Here's a snap for the one or two people who wanted to see the Weird Al boat. The Glasspar guys were really looking forward to their Zombie boat. It's the same model as the boat in my epic remix YouTube video called Glasspar Zombies .
Maybe next year. Speaking of the Florida Club, they are drafting younger and younger members these days ( the newest having a bit of low end trouble with his diapers ) The Rock had it's usual great GoosePoop Sandwiches. ( I noticed one or two ducks missing toward the end of the evening ). I'll have the video in a day or two - watch this topic.

great video, bob. I didn't make it this year, but I'm really positive that I'll make it next year, most likely with the Belmont.
