Racine's 2017 Public Art Project fits in perfectly with this fun event this year -- "Don't Miss the Boat" features more than two dozen sailboats and motorboats decorated by local artists. We checked out the boats last week and they both fun and intriguing. They will be auctioned off on September 9 during the show.
