Registration is now open for the Family and Youth boat building events at the Port of Toledo’s 12^th Annual Wooden Boat Show.  This is your family’s chance to become a boat owner…one that you build yourself with your family and friends at the show. Families will build a 15 foot Sea Kayak under the guidance of local shipwright Rick Johnson.  Johnson, with the help of local boat builders, will guide families through the project starting on Friday, August 19^th through the launching event on Sunday, August 21^st.  The plans, building materials, and instruction are all included for $400 registration cost.

The youth boat building project is an exciting opportunity for youth ages 10 – 18 to build their very own 8 foot “Elegant Punt”.  The punt is built from a kit, under the direction of Joe Novello and volunteers, using simple hand tools.  Registration costs $200.  This is a two day boat building activity, where youth with help from a friend or family member will learn basic construction techniques. Space is limited for both opportunities.  Registration forms are available online at www.portoftoledo.org or call the Port Office at 541-336-5207 for more information.  Don’t miss the fun at the Port of Toledo’s Wooden Boat Show, August 20-21 at Toledo’s Waterfront Park and Marina at 127 NW A Street, Toledo, OR  97391.
