Meet the WakeBrothers & Win A Yamaha Sx190 at Upcoming Boat Shows
Atlanta Boat Show – Meet the WakeBrothers
Just because the weather is getting cooler, it does not mean you have to winterize your boat already. With a few fun boating shows and expos coming to Florida, Georgia and California in the coming weeks, you might not want to anyway. Check out these events, but be sure to make your plans soon, since some of them start this week.
Starting the New Year right is the Atlanta Boat Show hosted by Progressive in Georgia the second week of January, 2014. Located at the Georgia World Congress Center, Hall C, the boat show is running from January 9 – 12, and will be open:
- Thursday and Friday, January 10 and 11 from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m.
- Saturday, January 12 from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m.
- Sunday, January 13 from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m.
Attending this show are Phil and Bob Soven from the hit show WakeBrothers. These professional wakeboarders are two brothers, and some of the best wakeboarders in the world, having earned a number of national titles for their performances. What’s even better than seeing them is that you can get photographs and autographs from them as well. They will be available from 1 – 3 p.m. and 6 – 8 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. and 4 – 6 p.m. on Saturday.
The rest of the show will feature exhibitions from a ton of well-known and respected names in boating and yachting. Additionally, the show will host their new creation, Fred’s Shed Interactive Learning Center, which offers a ton of boat and motor maintenance workshops and seminars.
Tickets are available – and you’ll need to purchase a new ticket for each day you attend. Adult tickets cost $12, and children 15 and younger, when accompanied by someone 18 or over are free. According to the show’s website, each ticket includes a subscription to your favorite boating magazine – pick from titles such as Yachting, Popular Science, Field & Stream, and others. See the website for full details.
