I proactively organized and managed the Media Relations efforts to promote this signature annual Father's Day weekend event that draws thousands of repeat attendees from up and down the northeast corridor and as far west as Texas. This is the largest classic boat show in the Mid-Atlantic, with over 100 juried boats (Wood, Fiberglass & Metal) displayed in water and on land across the 17-acre grounds of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in historic St Michaels, MD. This signature event also features a "show within the show" — The Arts at Navy Point — as well as activities for kids, including a youth judging event. Each year has a special theme. Here are a few examples... ► Our 2011 festival's feature attraction was the exquisite mahogany racer, Miss America IX — the first boat to break 100 mph. ► For our Silver Anniversary event we featured a collection of the rare Chris-Craft Silver Arrows from the late '50s. ► More recently we made raceboats the feature for another annual festival, attracting raceboat clubs as well as individual racers across the mid-Atlantic. Each year we recognize the wide diversity of antique boats that have been preserved and restored — from skiffs and runabouts to cruisers, from mahogany to metal and fiberglass boats.
