Following that will be an auction of items that are of interest to lovers of this bird. The money goes for habitat enhancement and research, including a major grouse project underway in Virginia. The price includes membership in the society. It is boat show time across the country. The nearest to me is the Southwest Virginia Boat Show at the Roanoke Civic Center, Feb. 26-28.
Boat shows provide an excellent opportunity to compare boats, motors and prices under a single roof.
Most have special buys, too. Before you go, and afterwards, do some homework on the Internet. Most boat and motor manufactures have websites which help make it easier for a buyer to check on what's available. There are dealer sites, too. Many have pictures, stats, product information and even prices.
