29th Annual Lake Monroe Midwest Messabout

-

If you build, dream about, or are just interested in small boats, join us each fall on Indiana’s largest man-made lake, Lake Monroe, in the Bloomington area. Come share your nautical obsession, swap boating yarns, discuss boatbuilding techniques, peruse all things boaty, and generally enjoy a healthy family-friendly weekend. 

Come early and stay late, you never know what you’ll learn, what you’ll see, or who you’ll meet! Check this website periodically for more details of the 2020 event.
