End kayak and canoe season on a high note by competing in Vermont’s 3rd Annual Connecticut River Paddle Battle!

Sunday – September 25th, 2011
Herrick’s Cove – Rockingham, Vermont
**part of NECKRA’s point series**

According to their web site:

This an end of the season event is designed to give everyone a great day on the river to bid summer goodbye for another year. The Paddle Battle is open to paddlers of all skill levels:

• The serious racer will have a chance to unwind and spend some fun time on the river with colleagues.
• The casual paddler can participate in an open class race or help with the river clean up.

Families are welcome. There will be a course set up and times will be kept, but the main objective is fun. There will be prizes, activities, educational opportunities, food, and music.

The event will take place rain or shine. The water will still be warm, foliage will be reaching its peak, and migratory birds will be passing through the area, so this is an ideal time to get out and enjoy the river.
