Cincinnati Re-adventure: boatshow

As we noted over here, we were gifted with a handful of free tickets to the Cincinnati Travel, Sports and Boat Show. We have given a handful of the tickets away (Matt S., let us know how we can get two tickets to you!) and we used a few for ourselves, because we had never been to a boat show before.

Mostly, as we guessed, the boat show was not for us. The layout and feel was similar to the Auto Expo we attended last year, also held at Duke, but there wasn't much to hold my attention. The boat show's target audience seemed to be having a fantastic time, and even around 7pm the place was hopping.

I did get to sit on a scooter, though! Metro Scooter was in attendance, which almost became financially dangerous for me. Some day! ;)

I'm so glad we had an opportunity to tackle something new, and within walking distance from home!

I have to admit... boat shows are not necessarily my thang. However, I've been given a handful of free tickets to the event to distribute to my readers. Are there any boating enthusiasts out there?

Comment on this post! Dan and I will randomly choose three readers to win a pair of tickets each. We'll be choosing quickly because this event takes place over the next two weekends!
