At Saturday's Antique & Classic Boat Show
A couple from the Cleveland, Ohio area have attended the Buffalo show in the past because it is one of the largest shows of its kind in the United States. Dennis Naylon and Kathy Bradley have been dating for eleven
years and have been engaged for the past two.This year, they are not only bringing a beautifully restored red and white boat ("Last Dance") to the show, but wanted to have their wedding ceremony right on the dock during this year's event. Denny Naylon had a serious health bout earlier this year and spent three months in a hospital. So, they decided now was the time to finally get married.
We will stop the running of the race boats for the ceremony. The ten minute ceremony is scheduled to begin at 11:30am. More information is posted at www.OldBoatsBuffalo.org
