I just looked up Their Event.

I see no mention of a Canoe Auction.

I go up every year primarily for that.

Doesn't look like it will happen.

Sad !

I was there for the canoe auction about five years ago. There was a woman who was buying many canoes, and at the end, she just left without paying for any of them. Sad for everyone there and owners who had to take canoes back.

I talked to one of the managers at the store back in January. I asked him about the Spring Expo and he relayed that they are waiting to see how this COVID thing plays out as they plan the expo. He suggested that some portion to perhaps all of it may be virtual. He didn't mention anything about a canoe-auction but I also didn't ask. I'd expect details to be coming soon though. I'll probably head up there today to spend a birthday coupon. If I can track the manager down, I'll ask.

on 4/24 Saturday I will be giving Two 1 hour long Tarp Demos on the grassy knoll across the street from the parking lot entrance. At 10:00 am and 1 PM Their webpage says that April 1 they will have more information. They are doing boat demos by sign up see their webpage

They now have the information posted.

I could probably use them as well for my new 10 x 10 multi-color panel silnylon tarp!

I remember that well ! She ran the prices up on a lot of people. I think the Auctioneers were aware of her !
They changes Auctioneers after that.
