INDIAN LAKE, Ohio (WLIO) - With the lovely weather comes the hope for summer, and what better way to celebrate than kicking off boating season.
Bud's Marine in Indian Lake hosts an annual boat show where different dealerships come out to show their products. Since 1957, this business has been holding boat showings during the first weekend of march, and 2026 is no different. Many have made this a tradition to check out, as well as supporting the local community during the start of spring. Having this precursor to boating season gives both seasoned and new boat owners alike a chance to learn more about brands, types of boats, and what boat is best for them. The owner mentions how this event impacts the local community.
"The people that have been away all winter that have places here come up, bring their friends, they get back in, the restaurants get busy, they feel the season start, and this kind of kicks it off, so we get excited to be part of it," says Bud Christman, Owner of Bud's Marine.
He adds that the boat show continues throughout the weekend and all are welcome. If you are interested in the Indian Lake boat show or purchasing a boat, check out the Indian Lake Boat Show website.
