Boat blings... Will there be booth babes?

Here's another update:

Ryan Rogers, owner of Hells Canyon Marine, will be a guest speaker in the classroom located near the main entrance. Ryan will be talking about jet boats in general and lots on whitewater jet boats and jet boating the Snake River in Idaho. Ryan’s videos are famous for extreme maneuvers and running some of the worlds most intimidating rapids. Last March Ryan ran our very own Hells Gate which has not be done by many people. If you own a jet boat, don’t miss this one opportunity to learn from the best.
