* The second half of the race course is all groomed and ready to be paddled. All major obstacles have been cleared.

*I wish to thank a few of the dedicated kayakers who assisted with last minute grooming of the expert course today. There was no way I was going finish clearing all the major tree obstacles without their sweat equity contribution. Your help today allows us to begin the 20th Annual Scantic Spring Splash Canoe Race with time to spare.
