Ahoy! Boat Shows are on the Way....
Spring will soon break the chill of winter and begin a buzz of excitement as the earth rejuvenates after the winter lull. People will go outside more, and the dark nights won't be so long and imposing. Water lovers will be pleased to hear that in the next three months there will be at least five boat shows coming to the greater Knoxville area! One is coming as soon as this weekend. Here is a list of shows now scheduled:
~The Knoxville Boat Show: January 12-15. The Knoxville Expo Center will display all kinds of watercraft for boat lovers' viewing pleasure. The show opens today!
