Dates for the 2009 Paddlefest on the Ohio River have been set: June 26 and 27

Paddlefest is a great paddling event for paddlers of all ages – whether you kayak or canoe – there is even a kid’s expo.  It is also a great way to get to know more about the Ohio River Way and all the work that is being done to promote it as a great place to spend time on the water and to protect it, keeping it clean and safe for generations to come.

Come to Cincinnati to enjoy two days of paddling, education, entertainment, competition and camaraderie.

Registration for the even begins in January 09, so mark your calendars!
