2024 Canoe & Wooden Boat Show Set For May 25

The Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum will celebrate Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Day on the Saturday May 25th from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. This free event marks the season opening of the museum and will include open house in the museum exhibit hall, ongoing activities in the canoe workshop, live music and food and beverage outdoors in the beer garden, a silent auction and canoe raffle, and of course the Canoe & Wooden Boat Show.
 
The 15th annual boat show is the highlight of the day, with over 25 exhibitors expected to display wooden boats of all shapes, sizes, and designs, both classic and modern, as well as all kinds of classic and vintage water and paddling related items. Already registered to display is Thomas Knuteson from Waukesha. He will be showing a 1948 Shell Lake Snipe and a 1948 Martin 45 Outboard. Mark Storrs of Pompano, Florida, plans to show off his very rare 1915 BN Morris canoe. Justin Leonard of Spooner will be displaying a wooden racing boat. Megan Johnson from Pine City (MN) will have her handmade Megastar Paddles on sale. Alex Comb of Stewart River Boatworks in Knife River (MN) is bringing two 15 foot Ami wood and canvas canoes he has for sale. Greg Eide is coming from Decorah, Iowa, to sell his 12 foot Vermont Packboat built by the Adirondack Guide Boat Company. These are just a few examples of the exhibitors that will be in attendance.
 
Many other old and new watercraft are on the way, and there is always room for more. Booth space is free, and reserving a space is easy if you use the online registration form.
