Paddle Fest 2005

There will be one float leaving from
the Grayville City Park at 10 a.m. In order to be a part of that
float, all registrants must:
- Register in advance through USI
Extended Services. On-line registration will be cut off at
close of business on
Thursday, August 14. Call 812/464-1989 or 800/467-8600 for
registration on August 15 during regular business hours, 8
a.m.-4:30 p.m. Note that your registration must be
received by 4:30 p.m. on August 14 to receive a free Paddlefest
T-shirt.
- Appear at the New Harmony
check-in site between 7:30 and 9:15 a.m. on Saturday, August 16.
Buses will transport you to Grayville, with the last bus
departing at 9:25. You may drive yourself to Grayville if
you prefer, but you will need to make arrangements to have your
vehicle brought to New Harmony or for a ride back to Grayville
after the float. If you are bringing your own canoe or
kayak you may transport it yourself or utilize the service
provided (no extra charge).
- In Grayville, you will have an
opportunity to take a Quick-Start canoe class ($10/person). This
20-minute class
is recommended for those who have little or no canoe experience.
Spaces are limited, so be sure to register in advance and to check in in
New Harmony at
least 45 minutes prior to your class time.
- Each canoe must be captained by
an adult 18 or older. Maximum capacity is 800 pounds.
That's generally up to three adults, one-two adults with one-two
children, or one adult with one-three
children. There are two seats, others sit in the bottom of
the canoe.
- Rental canoes are available at $30
each. A limited number of rental canoes is available, so
be sure to reserve yours early.
