The DFW Boat Expo Returns for Another Year + Giveaway

Blog· Entertainment· Freebies

The DFW Boat Expo makes its way back to the Market Hall from July 18-21. This even will be full of water craft, education, and nearly 100 vendors to stop by and visit with.  The expo, presented by the United Boat Dealers of North Texas, will be the largest event of its kind ever staged at Dallas Market Hall. This is a great Expo to attend if you’re a boat lover, want to upgrade your boat or if you just want to spend the day admiring the many different types of watercraft. They are going to have something for everyone.

Dates and Hours:

  • Thursday, July 18, 2013 from 3:00pm – 9:00pm
  • Friday, July 19, 2013 from 3:00pm – 9:00pm
  • Saturday, July 20, 2013 from 10:00am – 9:00pm
  • Sunday, July 21, 2013 from 10:00am – 6:00pm

I love that this event lasts four full days so you can stop by after your work day or spend all day Saturday and Sunday exploring the different boats and jet skis.  You will find over 15 local boat dealers at this event including Jerry Whittle Boats, Legend Marine Group, Marine Max, Midsouth Marine Group, North Texas Marine, Phil Dill Boats, Plano Marine and many more. To find a full list of local boat dealers at the DFW Boat Expo visit their official page. You won’t be disappointed at this show because they are scheduled to have over 450 boats and watercraft on display!

With North Texas having many accessible lakes across the Metroplex and The Texas Parks and Wildlife has provided us with some great Boat Safety Tips to use while out on the water.

8 Boat Safety Tips

8 Boat Safety Tips

  1.  Always wear a life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD). Most boating fatality victims were  not wearing a PFD. Always carry PFDs in both adult and child sizes. Children younger than age 13 must wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved PFD while underway. Avoid alcohol. The probability of being killed in a boating accident doubles when alcohol is involved.
  2. Operating a boat under the influence is just as dangerous as driving a car when you’ve been drinking.  Boating while intoxicated (BWI) is strictly enforced and carries penalties similar to driving, including possible Driver’s License suspension.
  3. Be especially careful on personal watercrafts (PWC). PWC operators and passengers must wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved PFD. Before borrowing or renting a PWC, take the time to learn how to operate the vessel and the rules of the waterway. Obey the 50-foot rule! Maintain a 50-foot distance from other PWCs, vessels, persons, shore, or stationary platform or other object unless operating at headway (idle) speed.
  4. Enroll in a boater education class. For class information, visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Boater Education Web pages or call 800-792-1112.
  5. Don’t overload your boat.
  6. Operate at a safe speed. Use common sense, especially in crowded areas. A person must be able to bring the boat to a safe stop within the assured clear distance ahead.
  7. Always have a passenger serve as a lookout in addition to the operator.
  8. Watch out for low water areas or submerged objects.

You can learn more about boat safety at the DFW Boat Expo and their vendors

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW. We ordered a variety of items from burritos, bowls, queso and more. Every single item was bursting with flavor. If you like spicy,  I highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken Burrito. 🔥 Don't forget to add on a Margarita pop - nothing beats alcohol and Mexican food delivered straight to your door!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
