Hey Wanna Go To A Trade Show? Boat Shows Are Fun! |
Last month in February the Southern
California Marine Association, Inc, (http://www.scma.com/)
held it's annual boat show in Los Angeles.
Just about anyone who was anyone in the boating industry was there.
In addition to being a great place to check out the latest boats and
accessories, it was also a good opportunity to meet other folks that are into
boating. Not just the folks walking
around, but also the folks in the booths.
In addition to the boat manufacturers
and dealers, you had a large assortment of accessory dealers and some public
service agencies.
The San Bernardino Sheriffs Department
had a good display at the show. They
patrol the Colorado River near the Lake Havasu area.
In addition to giving out some general information on boating, they were
also there to promote their free safe boating class.
If you have never taken a safe boating
class, I can tell you it is more then just a don't drink and boat lecture. In reality, it is a lot of great info on general boating,
with some very good information on how to read waterways. Not just what marker buoys mean, but how to read the look of
the water. Is it shallow?
Is it deep? Is it safe?
If you would like more information on this program please call
760-326-9200 and ask for the safe boating program.
If you were a first timer to the boat
show, or new to the boating "thing", just walking around the show
proved that boating is an all ages activity.
There were business owners looking for a new boat to entertain customers
in, and families looking to update the ski boat.
Everywhere you looked folks were striking up conversations about boating.
And striking up conversations is what NetWorking is all about.
