School's out, and if you are ready for some family fun, head to Mystic Seaport this weekend.
The three-day Wooden Boat Show is underway, from June 26-28.
Yankee Magazine's Travel Guide has named it as "one of Connecticut's Top 20 Events for the Summer."
You’ll see wooden boats and catch live boat building events, but don't worry. Wooden boat enthusiasts and marine history buffs can check out some of the classics too.
Contemporary wooden boats of every type, both sail and power, will also be on display.
Three tents will be set up with extensive exhibits inside like boat building, sail making, boat schools and associations, tools, wooden boat hardware, books, nautical antiques and artists.
This year is the 18th annual Wooden Boat Show.
