Our organization will be planning on participating in this year’s boatshow at Metropolitan Park. I’m inquiring on whether the considerations granted us at last year and 2009 event would still be applicable to this years show? As you are aware, we are a 501c organization and although we are making progress on bringing the ex-USS CHARLES F.ADAMES DDG2 to Jacksonville our funds are very limited. Its been a pleasure working with you group in the past and we’re hoping we’ll be able to participate again this year. The contact person will be Pat Stroud who can be reached at the Adams Museum Visitor Center, located at the Jacksonville Landing. Our phone number is (904) 647 5177

Hello Jimmy,
Don’t want this event to sneak up on us. What can we do to be proactive in getting Atlantic Self Storage on any pamphlets or brochures for this event? In addition, we are planning on participating and want to make sure we are still in the same spot as last year with the trucks as advertisement.
Feel free to get in touch so we can coordinate this event smoothly.
Thank you! 904-899-4628

Why no info on location of metro park. Not everyone lives in Jacksonville and some (me) are relatively new to the area DUH!

We’re in town visiting family and want to come to the show, but we have our dog. Can she come too? She always goes out on our boat with us.
dockmaster says:

Hi Laurie. No dogs or pets allowed. This is a city law, not boat show. So sorry our dog never misses an outing on the boat either
Cary Maxey says:

Can I come to the show in my boat and if so where do I park in the marina? I see the marina map with whited out boats with no numbers……is that public parking?
Thanks.

Hello: I’m new to the Boat seen but really want to get into it. I’m a Boat owner and just found out about this event from my home money page. I will be here Sunday and hope to learn a lot and buy some items for my 18, 1/2 Bayliner. Please send me future emails on any boat events in Jacksonville Fl. I’m from orange park Florida but Jax is only a boat ride away.
