If you’re a boater or you love to fish, or both, and you’re looking for something fun and informative to do Saturday, March 27, head down to Cannons Marina on Longboat Key for our Annual Spring Open House and Fishing Clinic.

You’ll have a chance to preview the new 2010 Grady-White and Scout Boats and there will be free hot dogs, raffle prizes and a chance to win $50 worth of fuel to help you pull away from the dock and get out on the water.
