In fact, I went twice. Friday for me and Saturday with kids and friends. It was pretty nice and I bought some things. Kids had a great time and ran around for 4+ hours w/o resorting to their video games.
The actual number of sailboats on display was somewhat small, there was a Seaward 26RK.

Seriously Beene, that's it, only two pics? I'm facing another pending ice storm this afternoon, and that's after setting the coldest temp on record ever recorded for IL, and the most seasonal snow fall...ever. Don't care if you high jack the thread, cabin fever is imminent. ....and don't worry about power I have a generator for the house. Great pics!

Re: Is any one planning on attending the Chicago Boat/RV sho
Oh ya
To answer the next question....
Yes
I still have my Mac 26M
Have not decided whether to sell her or keep her for boating on other lakes as there are thousands of them in Ontario.
With my new keelboat, I wont be able to move around like I used to.
