It is that time again when Greenway Network is in the final planning stages for the Race for the Rivers Canoe/Kayak races and Festival. This year’s Festival is on August 29 from noon to 7 pm. (Did you know we were mentioned in the New York Times ‘One Summer , 14 Weekends” article for that weekend?) Once again we have a great line up of bands, booths, food and activities. It is going to be a great day!
