The Tarpon Coast Grady-White Boat Club is hosting a Gulf Coast Grady Fest, March 28, 2009, in Punta Gorda, FL, at the new Charlotte Harbor Event and Conference Center. This will be a full day of marine industry presentations expressly for Grady-White owners. A Captain's Symposium will cover Grady, Garmin and Yamaha topics and more, and a First Mate's Symposium features chefs preparing the catch of the day, plus dermatology tips on safety in the sun. There will be forums on favorite destinations around Florida and preparing for cruising, plus an exhibition hall with vendor displays.

Commodore Dan Clark says, "This will be largest gathering of Grady owners in the world!" Admission is by reservation only and open to all Grady-White owners and guests. A charge of $20 per person covers lunch, breaks, and a commemorative T-shirt. There will be door prizes galore, and a dockside social after the event.

Seating is limited so reserve your space early! Marina arrangements are
available if you're coming by boat. For reservations and more information
