Thank you Shannon’s Auto Body for your donated labor and shop space to remodel our faithful Boat #1. Work is under way to completely redo the boat from the pontoons up. All new decking, flooring, seating and more! Jason from Shannon’s is heading up this project with LGF volunteers Dave and Ron joining the effort. Joshua from CLC College is also assisting as part of his internship at Shannon’s to learn the boat service trade. Joshua is an extremely hard-worker with a “Can do attitude”!
