'Boating Through the Years' at Buffalo Launch Club

Niagara Frontier Antique and Classic Boats announces its 43rd annual Antique & Classic Boat Show, “Boating Through The Years,” will be held Saturday, Sept. 17, at the Buffalo Launch Club. The oldest power-boating club in the world is located at 503 E. River Road, Grand Island.

Organizers said, “We are expecting over 100 vintage mahogany runabouts, cruisers and early fiberglass ‘glassics’ from across the Northeast and Southern Ontario. This is one of the largest and finest antique boat shows in the country.

“Boats on display, both on land and in water, span four decades – from the ’30s to the ’60s. We’ll even have a few from the ’20s. It’s a family event, with hands-on Kids Camp, junior judging, working model boat displays, an afternoon seminar, nautical flea market and a fantastic car show with room for over 200 registered cars!”

The show is open to the public, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with food and beverages available all day. Although admission to the show is free, there is a $10 per car parking fee.

Past shows have attracted more than 5,000 spectators.
