CanoeFest is back and geared up for another weekend of fun, food, and challenges!

Starting Friday, June 23rd, we have the Classic Car Cruise beginning at 6:00pm. Get ready to watch some of the sleekest, beautiful classic cars parade down Main Street.

Need to get fired up for this classic cruise? Then look no further than the Blazin' Inferno Challenge! For those who escaped the heat last year, this is a Hot Wing Eating contest featuring some of the hottest sauces. The last man standing is the reigning champion of the blaze and just what you need to feel the heat! The contest begins at 6:30pm.

June 24th is Race Day!

Those participating should arrive a half hour before the race begins, and check-in starts at 8:30am. The times for the three races are as follows:

•Biathlon Race - 9:30am
•Championship Race - 9:45am
•Recreational Races - 10:30am

Coming up the afternoon of June 24th, we have the Community Festival hosted by the American Legion Post 77. This runs from 3pm-10pm and will include vendors, food, and a kids fest.

Prepare for music by Sweetwater Band and Strange Brew for your entertainment!

Wrapping up our CanoeFest is:

•Chicken Dinner: 5pm-8pm
•Canoe Race Awards: 7pm
•Fireworks: 10pm

So mark your calendars and get ready for another fun-filled CanoeFest!
