Huron, Ohio (July 13, 2010) – Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company has been named the Title
Sponsor for Lake Erie Boat Week’s Powerboat Regatta, to be held September 7-8, 2010.
The Nationwide Insurance Powerboat Regatta is designed to bring pleasure boaters into Huron and
the region to enjoy all that the area has to offer. Although there will be definite events scheduled
(see daily schedule below), much of what will take place will surround fun and informal dockside
activities. All Nationwide Insurance Powerboat Regatta events are open to the general public,
regardless of participation with a boat, and boaters and the general public can choose any amount of
events to attend.
Lake Erie Boat Week is a national boating festival to be held September 7-12, 2010, held at the Huron
(OH) Boat Basin, with contested activities on Lake Erie and the Huron River.
Lake Erie Boat Week is a new event to the area, but is expected to attract 100,000+ people and
potentially $5-$10 million to the local Erie Islands economy. The Lake Erie Boat Week event will
consist of the Nationwide Insurance Powerboat Regatta, "Fastest Boat on Lake Erie" Competition
held on Lake Erie, and an APR Powerboat Superleague powerboat race (100-mph boats), held in the
Huron River and at the Huron Boat Basin, in the massively popular Lake Erie Shores and Islands
region.

“I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Nationwide Insurance as the Title Sponsor of Lake Erie Boat
Week’s Powerboat Regatta, to be held Tuesday and Wednesday, September 7-8, 2010,” said Janie
Vogel, Event Director for Lake Erie Boat Week. “What a great way to kick off this week-long boating
festival…by being able to showcase such a quality company. Nationwide Insurance agent Rick
Nemecek has been a supporter of this event from day one of the creation of Lake Erie Boat Week,
and I want to thank him and his entire staff for their participation. It’s so great that he’ll benefit from
this agreement with all four of his office locations – one right in Huron!
“We’ve been working for months on this arrangement and I’m confident that Lake Erie Boat Week can
provide Nationwide Insurance with a great platform to expand their business locally, regionally and
nationally,” Vogel continued. “The high-quality products and services Nationwide Insurance offers
can apply to just about anyone’s situation in life, whether they are a boater or not. I encourage all
