It's one of my family's annual must see, the Duluth Boat, Sport, Travel, RV and Deer Classic at the DECC.  The entire DECC is filled to the brim with a little something (or a big something) for everyone in the family.  For me, it's the puppies!

If you go every year you've probably made friends with some of the exhibitors that are there on a regular basis.  That's the case for me and John Pesek, owner of Royalty British Kennels and trainer of the finest line of British Labradors.  My favorite part of the boat show! John and I become friends several years ago while at the show and it's the first booth I go to when I arrive at the DECC.

On a side note, the food at the DECC was fantastic.  We had the turkey burger and their own DECC made potato chips that had just the right amount of crunch!  Although, I was bummed to see they were skillet pan frying penne pasta in a sauce of your choice too late!  Take note, pasta fans!!!  Then we hit up the mini-donut stand for dessert.
