Glacier Lake Show Ends Miss Woody Boater Stories. Thanks, Thanks Alot!

Thanks to a slow down in donations we are returning to our regularly scheduled boat show reports. This time it’s from the good folks on the Glacier Lake ACBS. I wonder if the bottoms of the boats are larger on that lake? To obscure of a glacier joke? Anyone? Beuler? Cough cough.. crickets.. Wow what a tough group.. Hey you could have kept donating and have more Miss Woody Boater. But Noooooooooo, so it’s dock shots for you! Unless we see some new donations today! The button is right there and live on the right. Come on..

A very subtle reminder of what Miss Woody Boater looks like!

Thanks to  Erika Simmons , Don Ploenter and Bob Kays for haveing some fun and helping us all raise some needed funds. A huge thanks to the past two days of donations. You can not imagine how far that will go.. For one, a larger server now so we wont crash when traffic spikes, like yesterday, while looking at Miss Woody Boater. We are not asking for a bunch, but if we got just 10% of the 5000 readers daily, that would be huge. Heck, 1% would be huge. We understand the reality of the web and want to keep it open for all. But if you are reading today, or going to look around and you like what you see. DONATE.. And if we get enough, we will bring more Miss Woody Boaters to you. Yup, we’re in the works for a Miss Fall Woody Boater series. No more pledge drives though, that’s once a year!

Here is the official report in from Fellow Woody Boater Jack Schneiberg

Glacier Lakes Chapter of the ACBS
10th Anniversary Pewaukee Boat Show and Street Event
Saturday, August 16th, 2014

The Crew assembling the docks with the help of Dawe’s Crane

To celebrate the Chapter’s 10th Anniversary and the 10th Annual Pewaukee Boat Show, a Friday night event was added this year. A boat tour around Pewaukee Lake and then a stop at Gary and Sue Rechcygl who hosted the group for an an evening on their lawn with refreshments and a fantastic “meal on the go” prepared by Chapter members, Pete and Nancy Feichtmeier. I had the best sliders I’ve ever had along with salads, port sandwiches, and a very special potato salad. The sounds and sights of the boats leaving the dock after dark added greatly to our evening on the lake event.
Saturday morning dawned sunny, but a bit chilly and windy. However the weather started warming as the boats began arriving from their launch across the lake at the Pewaukee Yacht Club. The event site is Pewaukee Lake Front Park right downtown and next to the public beach and fishing dock.
We have a crew who actually put our dock in the water just for this show each year. With the grateful help of Dawes Crane and Summerset Marine we can usually get the pier assembled and in place in a couple of hours. The crew puts the dock together as Dawes Crane operators give a hand.

I can gaurantee that this will wake you up. Feature Boat was John & Amy Zea’s 1924 Hacker designed race boat with it’s 1918 Liberty V12. The boat is Vogler Boy V

Vogler Boy went out for quite a few spectator runs.

John & Amy Zea’s Vogler Boy V was giving rides in the afternoon. The comments from the returning passengers were illuminating. Karl Johns in the picture above (back cockpit) was actually moved to tears he was so taken with experience. The many kids who got a turn were ear to ear grins. Several other adults had to go sit down  once ashore so their knees would steady. The sound was magnificent. The sight amazing.

Our event always closes with an Honor Guard Ceremony to give tribute to the Armed Services and all those in Law Enforcement in our community.  The show ends with a “Flyover” by vintage aircraft. I’ll tell you that the P51 that came in low and rattled the windows and the treetops was pretty special.
This special show features the boats, vintage classic cars, Big Wheel Bicycles, model boats, and a Plien Art Fair with artists on the waterfront painting the boats. Beer & Wine, Brats and corn rounded out the picture this year. Live music is also on sight.

Thanks to fellow Woody Boater Jack Schneiberg for letting us all have some fun today! This is what its all about..
