The 2008 Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show is almost here.  Tents are already going up and the beach is getting geared up for the event.  It's a huge event for the area and it's fun to attend even if you don't have a boat.  You can usually find discount tickets in advance.  One ticket will get you into all the event locations.  There is also some great food offerings at the event.


(The tents go up near the Bahia Mar Beach Resort.  Hard to believe this will be filled with a full showroom in a few weeks.)

It's the 49th edition of the show this year and is scheduled to be held in multiple locations around Ft. Lauderdale on October 30 - November 3, 2008.
