The Fargodome has found a keeper. The 11th annual Red River Valley Boat Show returns to the dome Friday.
The show for boating and fishing fans features 100,000 square feet of exhibitions including speedboats, fishing boats, pontoons, canoes and personal watercraft.
Dealers selling boatlifts, docks, trailers and riggings also will be on site.
Other attractions at the boat show include daily seminars by top anglers. Electronics expert Bill Diedrich will share tips on how to use sonar while fishing and Lindy Little Joe President Ted Takasaki will cover jigging for walleye.
A 5,000-gallon "bass tub," billed as a virtual aquarium on wheels, will make its boat show debut.
