Big Antique Boat Festival Returns This Weekend

    The largest wooden boat show in the country will return to the Tavares shoreline this weekend, when the 42nd Sunnyland Antique Boat Festival returns for a three-day run. Antique boats, classic and custom cars, seaplanes, and more will all be a part of the event.
   The event is sponsored by the Sunnyland Chapter of the American Classic Boat Society.
   “There’s something for everyone,” said Debi Weinert, who is coordinating the volunteer corps necessary to pull of the big event. “There are boats, boats, and more boats…”.
   But not just boats. Vintage motors will be on display, as will boats created by youngsters with mentor assistance. Festivals of Speed will host a car show on Saturday as part of the event.
   The event will be located off Ruby Street downtown, adjoining Wooten Park.
