Love at First Boat Show! 💘

Who knew a first date surrounded by shiny boats and lake‑day dreams would turn into 70 years of love, laughter, and lake life?

John and Donna’s very first date was at the Grand Rapids Boat Show… and they’ve kept the tradition going every single year since.

Special thanks to eightWest for highlighting their love story and to John & Donna for celebrating the anniversary of their first date with us every year !

Here’s to love that lasts, traditions that stick, and couples who prove that sometimes the best way to someone’s heart… is through a boat show.
