You know you're dreaming of summer anyway.  Why not fuel the dream and head out to the annual Minneapolis Progressive Boat Show at the Minneapolis Convention Center this weekend.  As if all the glorious floating crafts were not enough of an enticement the show has a plethora of events that you can partake in.  Meet the crew from National Geographic Channel's hit TV show Wicked Tuna, attend a night of craft beer sampling, take in daily seminars about boating and sailing basics, try your hand at kayaking or stand up paddle boarding (SUP) in a huge pool right on the showroom floor (bring a swimsuit), kids can build and decorate their own wooden boat, participate in contests and giveaways, or hang out at the Wings Financial Boardwalk which features food from Seven Sushi & Steakhouse, rides and carnival games and live music.  There is definitely enough to keep you busy even if you attended every single day.  And who knows, you might walk out the proud owner of a brand new boat!
