Just another reminder to all teams attending ... don't forget about the Paddler's party after the awards ceremony.  We only have a hall big enough to hold 300 - 350 people but there will be lots of  cold beer and coolers on ice.   I think we're also going to have a big screen TV with the days races on it (don't quote me on that one). 

Then again ... they might regret getting me to pick up the drinks on Friday 

mmmmmmmmmmbbbbbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

yes, more info please.  info on this regatta in general isn't easy to come by, i've been to the FVDB website and there isn't much there either.  i know harrison isn't exactly huge, but even posting things like where this hall is located, or even the paddlers village for that matter, would be nice.

For those teams coming Friday we are permitting you to set up your tent on Friday night AFTER 7:00 pm. We will have security on board at 9:00 pm – 7:00 am Saturday morning.
