Ft. Lauderdale Spring Boat Show
George English Park
May 18-29, 2001
The Ft. Lauderdale Spring Boat Show, held at the Bahia Mar Marina in the past, will 
be in George English Park on May 18-20, 2001. This show consists of small motor boats,
sizes 8' to 26' in length. Many people were concerned about this show being held in
Coral Ridge and what kind of effects may reside. Of the city commissioners, Gloria Katz
paid special attention to the details before granting it permission. With many drawbacks
possible in a show such as this, strict rules were discussed and then agreed upon before
it was allowed. Special thanks to Paul Dooley, Brian Leary, and
Ed Sullivan for the time
they spent overlooking these discussions.
Great care will be taken with the direction of traffic, the control of parking, and the
repair of any damage to the park caused by the show. There will always be hired
policemen to maintain strict order.
Preparation for the show will begin on Monday, May 14, and continue throughout the
week. All Coral Ridge homeowners are to receive two complimentary boat show
tickets along with the May newsletter, to thank them for allowing the event to be held in their back yard.
If you would like some more tickets for your family, email Ron Laffey. For more details of the preparation of the show, go to:
