Paddlefest 2011 - A Huge Success

We want to thank everyone who came out to make this year's Paddlefest the biggest ever! The hundreds of people that participated in the race and came out to the after party helped raise some much needed funds for the Riverkeeper. We also want to say thank you to all of our volunteers, committee members, vendors and sponsors - this event would not have been possible without you!
