Now why would I be writing about a Boat & Sportshow in Kansas City? Well for one Boat & Sportshows are family friendly events....yep I often take my kids the sportsshows so they get a first hand look at all the neat stuff.

The Progressive Insurance Boat & Sportshow offers so much for visitors, much more than just roaming through the event looking at boats. This show is packed full of educational opportunities , places for kids just to be kids, and they even get the canines involved.
