Special Vintage Race Boat Program
The past will come alive this summer when the vintage race boats of bygone eras return to the Buffalo Launch Club to participate in a special vintage race boat program. The Vintage boats will be on display on Saturday, and will run demonstration laps on the historic BLC race course.
