How do you improve on the world's largest houseboat show? You take it to the water. For over 10 years Houseboat magazine has been producing the National Houseboat Expo each spring in Louisville, Ky., but this September it's going where no show has gone before. On September 25, 26 and 27, the National Houseboat Expo will head to State Dock on Lake Cumberland in Ken- tucky and with the new on-water venue, it promises to be quite possibly the best show to date. The energy is higher than usual because the show coor- dinators have unlimited resources available to help create a show on the water that attendees and exhibitors have been asking about for years. What this means for you as show-go- ers is that each day the show will offer something a little dif- ferent, making it a true three-day experience like none other. The State Dock Marina is nestled in the beautiful southern hills of Kentucky on Lake Cumberland and is located inside one of the state's premier State Parks. In the past, Expo attendees have been given the chance to tour dozens of boats, but what makes this show unique is that now you can take those houseboats out on a cruise to experience the water at Lake Cumberland and see what the boat feels like from behind the wheel. You can also learn how to dock and navigate your boat with a "hands on" captain's course or for the seasoned veteran you can enter the live boat docking challenge to win prizes. If the live entertainment and great food doesn't excite you, maybe playing a little cornhole at the docks will. Experience cornhole like it was meant to be played—outdoors in the shadows of houseboats with other dock mates. There will be affordable lodging on land or on the water, plus overnight slips are available. Meet the top houseboat manufacturers and take advantage of the boat specials that will allow you to get your order in early so you can be behind the helm by spring. There will be boats to meet your inland lake, ICW, and river houseboating needs as well as custom- Wa er On H o u se b oa t M a ga z i n e 's A t St a t e D o c k We're taking our popular show to Cumberland By Brady L.
