Canoefest meets Wednesday

An organizational meeting for the 2009 Canoefest will be Wednesday, January 21, at Ye Olde Shack. The meeting starts at 6pm, but come at 5:30 and order some dinner. This year, Canoefest meetings will be held in various local restaurants to help support Brookville and Franklin County’s economy.

Canoefest will be on Friday June 26 and Saturday June 27, with the races occurring on Saturday June 27. After such great success in 2008, we are looking to keep that momentum going in 2009, and hope to get many new volunteers for this year’s events. Canoefest is Indiana’s largest canoe race, with 205 boats entered in 2008.

If you have never volunteered for Canoefest before, this is a great meeting to get started. If you have volunteered before, bring a friend to the meeting. New people, and new ideas for events are very welcome, to keep making Canoefest a great event.
