History of the Arkansas State Boat Show
In 2005, several Arkansas boat dealers came together to create the Arkansas State Boat Show.  Local dealers were tired of working with independent promoters and wanted more control over the decisions involving the boat show, so they decided to produce their own show.  The advantage to the dealers producing the show themselves is that overhead costs are reduced which allow for more savings to pass on to the consumer.  It also allows the dealers the ability to bring in entertainment to make the show more than just about selling.  The end result is a fun family event that really shows how much fun the boating lifestyle can be AND be prosperous for the dealer as well.
