2009 Glastron Classic
| What Twilight did for vampires, Glastron did for boats – made them sparkle. A shimmery mirage of fiberglass boats hit the Mississippi River on Saturday August powerboats met at Island Campground and Marina on Trenton Island and together made a run down to Hok-Si-La Beach in Lake City. Over 80 members of the Minnesota and Western Wisconsin chapter of the Classic Glastron Owners Association piloted small fiberglass boats ranging in size from 17 to 24 feet and in colors from mustard yellow to burnt orange. The Glastron fiberglass powerboats have become infamous for their uses as the Batboat and as James Bond’s boat in the films “Moonraker” and “Live and Let Die.” The boats caused quite a stir and brought many visitors to Trenton Island and the surrounding area. Organized by Brian and Lisa Bergstrom, the Minnesota and Western Wisconsin Chapter Administrators, the group tented for two nights, had a fish fry, and of course, boated. The Glastron owners came from different parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin and even had members come in from out of state. Don’t worry if you missed seeing these boats in action, the Association loves Red Wing and this part of the Mississippi so much that they will be back for many years to come.
