​Whats the charge to exhibit?

A boat or to sell stuff?

For a boat and if you are a ACBS member its like 25 or 30 bucks.

There's actually a charge to EXHIBIT one's own boat? To exhibit a boat that is not for sale? Do I have that right? <scratches head>

Space is limited and they put on a good show.

Whatever the market will bear, I suppose.

this is a non-profit club running a no-profit show. If the club screws up and makes money by accident after show expenses are paid, the club gives the money to some boat or marine charity the same year that the show was held in. Any donations in the past were made at the November meeting and voted on by the club membership. Also, any guest of a member hears this and other club business at that meeting. Hope this helps.

Apologies if I was less than clear. I wasn't concerning myself in any way with how much was collected or what happened to it. It just struck me as odd that there would be a market to pay to exhibit classic boats for any reason other than to sell them. If there is, that's great for the show.

A boat. So, it's 30.00 to exhibit?

[f_inscreenname]

If you are a ACBS member its 40 bucks and you get two passes to the show for the whole 3 day weekend and a couple other things.

I'm not a ACBS spokes person and for that matter its my first year but...
They put on a good show. Flee market, boats for sale, outboards, boats being judged on land and slips, food, the maritime museum, art, etc, etc. There's a lot to do not to mention who shows up.

Many, buy not all , Antique & Classic car shows & concours events, have a similar display exhibition "Entry fee" .
This helps pay for trophy awards, blue ribbons, dash plaque badges, programs, signs, security & traffic control, visitor liability insurance, local permits ,& licence, etc.
Also visitors sometimes pay a fee to attend.

Usually all excess entry money collected from attendees at most of these events goes to some local worthwhile charity.

How much if your not an ACBS member?

How much if your not an ACBS member?

You have to be a member. Which I think is 110 a year but that to comes with benefits.

Boat Show Festival pricing is best handled by my friend Dominic. He knows this stuff. He can be reached at 410-437-3989 or dadsday2013@verizon.net .

It is my assignment within the Chesapeake Bay Chapter to get you guys excited about the show. I also arrange the seminars that run all day, the Saturday, of the Festival.

I can be reached at 518-281-0045 or brcwb@aol.com . My name is Chris Brown. By the way, I was in a wheelchair at last year's show but I am walking around now. (My health has beeen an issue for me over the last few years. I continue to recover from a stroke last Oct.)
