Good for you, Dave
I moved to Colorado a couple of years ago after 38 years of paddling and instructing in Alaska. Left my wooden boat there but am working on another one here.
Hope there is a good turnout. I met a couple of builders here and will tell them about the 19th as I don't think they are on this board.

: We'll show off our boats, do some networking, possibly learn some
: things, and do some paddling or rowing or sailing together.
: It'll be low key, fun and friendly.

: We'll have a little cookout (potluck), maybe some demos, and
: generally have a good time. There's camping available - if
: you're interested reserve a spot early.

: Canoes, kayaks, sailboats and powerboats are all welcome!
