We had 90% of our listings on the South guest dock in the La Conner Marina and had a marvelous variety of boats available to step aboard! Visitors were happy with the mini Tollycraft rondevous we prepared, with 6 Tollycrafts in line for your viewing pleasure, then being able to board every style and design from 24’ to 53’, it was a very nice show!

Due to your generosity, we were able to collect $2,800.00 in donations for our 2012 benefactor, SKAGIT BAY SEARCH AND RESCUE. Thank you so very much!! These much needed funds will help to defray SBSAR insurance and fuel costs, equipment needs and training.

Hundreds of hot dogs were consumed, and your wonderful donations were once again very generous! Please know that your donations go to our benefactor, SKAGIT BAY SEARCH AND RESCUE. We have enjoyed serving the community in such a fun and entertaining manner!!! A very heartfelt THANK YOU to SARA LEE BALL PARK FRANKS for their donation of the hot dogs!

Thanks to all the swap meet participants, both buyers and sellers alike! We had reservations for a full house and even with the rain, we had a good turnout! We used a LOT of tents!!

We have so many people to thank, this annual event takes so many volunteers to set up, run and take down. Friends drove up from Portland and Rockaway OR, Lyle, Bonney Lake, Edmonds, Hood Canal, Kenmore, Seattle, and of course, our local LaConnerites who always are such a huge help!
