There was a constant flow of people admiring the selection of boats and chatting with the boat builders. Under the SCMA tent, the Hubert Evans Handliner acted as our off-site exhibit. This historic handliner is on permanent display in the museum.
During the day, visitors were given an opportunity to vote on their favorite boat in the show. The crowd responded with enthusiasm. At around 3:30 in the afternoon, the ballots were counted and the winner announced. Art Perry was given the People's Choice Award for his beautiful Cedar-Strip Chestnut Prospector Canoe to the delight of the audience.
The Handliner replica "Anna" also participated in the Sea Cavalcade parade on Saturday the 24th as the Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives float, accompanied by Jon Hird, Larry Westlake, and Phil Jones.
