I don't see the usual paddle but maybe I missed it. Planning to paddle noon and lower or higher will be dependent on level. Coastals if you are doing a trip I will modify accordingly.

For the record, When Jim Blake asked The Corn Youth Alliance to keep the tradition alive it did!
The CYA ran it flawlessly for a few years until it was STOLEN out from under their control
Now, sadly, a tradition has died...

Stolen = didn't sign up for it after a few flawless years (which I must say I enjoyed the party at "Meat's" house).
It's not to late to revive it again, is the CYA coming to the rescue??!!

Guy,
The CYA can save the Chilly Chili. Don't let it die... If I was in town I'd be out there with you. One of my most fond memories was piling into the Corn Wagon with 12 other folks for my first Chilly Chili. There's gonna be good water and your play boat is calling...
May the CORN be with you...

Yay, noon time New Years lap with Amy and Marv? Count me in! I'll see if I can mobilize the RVA SwimTeam. Is there seriously no potluck meetup afterwards this year?

I'll join you. I would be up for both upper and lower sections if the level isn't too high.
