At the Stockton Sailing Club

June 28,29, &30, 2024

CHANGES AND GREAT ADDITIONS TO THE RUNABOUTS ON THE RIVER. Sign ups on line!

This year’s Runabouts on the River is in a new month.  We’ve moved it to June to get some of that cooler weather. The show is going to be a judged show for the first 6 interested in being judged to ACBS/Concours standards.  The event is growing and we will be having Live Music, Classic and Antique Boats on display, Classic Cars, Hot Rods, and Modern Performance Cars on display.  We’ll have craft vendors, Food booths, Children’s activities, Boat Rides for the Public and much more.  Book your hotel now.  If you have any questions, contact Layne Davis at 408-234-7613 or [email protected]  We need lots of volunteers to help out during the weekend.
