We think we usually get firmly into 2019 around or after the MLK holiday.
The deal is we made it to 2019 everybody.
This event also tells us we're into the New Year. Houston's International Boat, Sport & Travel show moving into 50 years of presenting this exhibition.
It was a few years ago the promotional talk of the exhibition was attendees were greeted by live sharks.
This year we suspect the popular attractions will be at the kids zone.
Children of all ages are invited on weekends to help build an 8-foot wooden dinghy-style boat, help rebuild a 1955 Evinrude 5½ hp classic outboard motor and/or paint in color on our white enamel 8’ pram. The Southwest Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society will conduct supervised boat-building sessions on both Saturdays, Jan. 6th and Jan. 13th and both Sundays, Jan. 7th and Jan. 14th from Noon – 5:00 pm. This event is open free of charge to all children who wish to participate. The boat is an 8-foot pram-
style dinghy. All the wood pieces will have already been cut. Assembly is by clamps, glue and screws driven by battery-powered drills. During the show each participating child will be issued a ticket to hold and we will conduct a drawing at the end of the last session to select the winner who gets to keep the finished boat!
The creators of Shen Yun have been saying for years the government of China has to put it mildly frowned on their continuing to present these perfor
mances. But this annual dance spectacle is worth an outing to see. Its this weekend (December 28, 2018) at Jones Hall downtown Houston.
Through the universal language of music and dance, Shen Yun weaves a wondrous tapestry of heavenly realms, ancient legends, and modern heroic tales, taking you on a journey through 5,000 years of Chinese culture.
