With the mild winter Chattanooga has experienced up to now, boaters may be champing at the bit to get out on Chickamauga Lake.
They’ll be able to scratch that itch to some degree this weekend at the Chattanooga Boat & Sport Show at the Chattanooga Convention Center.
The show, according to organizers, is the longest-running and biggest boating event in the Tennessee Valley with more than two football fields worth of boats, accessories and family activities.
It’s also a chance, said producer Keith Parker of Athens, Ala.-based BK Productions, to “save thousands [of dollars] on new boats.”
