CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Calling all boat builders, carpenters, and woodworkers, this year's Wooden Boat Festival in Port Aransas will test your skills and be the perfect fit for you!
Frankie Cabrera is the manager of Farley Boat Works, what he calls a 'working museum'. He encourages builders of all skill levels to participate in the festivities October 20 - 22.
"We actually ask if you haven't built a boat to come down so we can teach you how to build one," he said.
Admission is free and there will be plenty of activities for the entire family to enjoy including the Paella Fiesta Competition.
