Also Mix 94.1 will be broadcasting live from the event. We're very excited to be partnering with both of them.

Q
 

"Any boat powered by a paddle is welcome?"

How about a canoe that is rowed with two oars pretty much similar to a rowing shell?

Like ...........does it make any difference to Paddlefest if someone rows a canoe with oars ............ as opposed to paddling a canoe with a paddle.......since it is called Paddlefest......and not Oarfest?

I bet if you had a paddle attached to your "patoot" with duct tape they'ed let you enter. As long as you paid the entry fee!

Thanks FLL (and JP for the laugh)
 

I have amended the above information to say, "Any boat or float powered by a paddle or an oar..."

Here's Hoping For A Huge Success
 

There are oodles of paddles around Lake Winnipesaukee, and canoes too.

Wow,looks like they had a good turnout!:laugh:

That's just a photo of " The Gathering Of The Canoes ", for the event in August here!... Ten-four??

OK,I want to know which one is the stand on boat?:laugh::laugh:

Well I hope that photo wasn't taken in a No Rafting Zone:laugh::laugh:

But seriously, I hope the organizers know their market, the website says it's $50 per adult to get in and you're expected to fund raise more. That seems a little high for a kayak event. I hope they are successful.

Lung cancer work and Dana Farber are great causes.
