2011 ACBS Annual Meeting and International Boat Show

It was an important week for the Heartland Chapter at Lake Geneva.  Chapter of the Year was awarded to the Heartland Chapter.

The Hagerty Safety Award goes to Bobby Gibson for his article on Ventures in Varnishing which was published in the Fall issue of Mahogany & Chrome.

Blackhawk and Glacier Lakes Chapters hosted this 2011 ACBS event at the Abbey Resort on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

About 20 Heartland members enjoyed the week of meeting old and new friends and admiring the glorious boats.

Three boats were displayed from our Heartland Chapter.

Dave and Melody Lott brought Midnight Cry.

Dick and Cara Moist showed Chickadee.

Don and Kathy Parker entered Knot Wood which won the Fiber Glassics trophy.

The Lotts participated in the Chicago River pre-event on Tuesday, launching Midnight Cry into Lake Michigan, going through a lock into the Chicago River to cruise through the sky scrapers of downtown Chicago.
