“Where it All Began” Boat Show Celebrates 100th Anniversary of Chris Craft; June 25th in Algonac

The 37th Annual Michigan Chapter Antique and Classic Boat Show is coming to Algonac on June 25th. The show celebrates the 100th Anniversary of Chris-Craft with the theme “Where it all Began”.

The Chris-Craft boat company got started in Algonac and its history is being celebrated with the boat show, which is free to the public to view from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Over 90 boats are expected at the show.

While checking out the boats is the main attraction, the show offers a chance to meet the captains and crew, free boat rides, food, and vendors. Boats will be both docked in the Algonac Harbour and on land. Kids’ activities include the opportunity to build your own mini wooden boat, Tootsie the Clown, live music, and ice cream.

Free boat rides are from 1:00-3:00 p.m. on June 25th. A tent will have displays telling the story of the Chris-Craft boat building legacy and its place in Algonac’s history.
