Boat Slip Information
This event is designed to take advantage of a beautiful lake conducive to cruising in our vintage boats. Appreciative observers also want to see the boats. So we’ll take a break from cruising and let the public get close-up views of our boats for three hours Saturday afternoon.
Port of Kimberling Marina designates one covered dock for the “Heartland Classics Show” dock. We’ll fill it with our great variety of Antique and Classic boats for a public show from 1:00 to 4:00.
Reserve your slip on the online registration form. It’s a bargain this year! Two nights for the price of one. That’s right – $50 is the boat registration fee which gets you a covered slip from Friday afternoon through Sunday at 11:00 am.
IF you want extra time at the lake with your boat at this dock, you may reserve nights before or after our Friday and Saturday nights, (May 30-31) for $50 per night. To reserve these extra nights, call (417)739-5593, which is the Port of Kimberling Marina called “What’s Up Dock.
Registration deadline is May 21st.
This one registration form will include:
-
- attendee information

Heartland Classics members appreciate having such a great event where they can use their vintage boats together on a beautiful lake. Event Chairs Jerry and Becky Caddell do the year-long planning. They are helped by a committee of five more couples who love sharing Table Rock Lake.
