There is electricity at the pavilion (based on our experience last year).
My wife Lindsay is going to run the 5K, 10K or whatever foot race is going on for cheat fest. She's nursing a sprain right now so she's hoping she will be recovered enough to run this year. If any of your non-paddling spouses are thinking of going she would love to have someone go with her.
I'll be there with the Bus and we'll be arriving Friday night and paddling Saturday and Sunday.

Upper Yough for you too!!!!Wallace wrote:Gromit and I are dithering. What do y'all want to paddle on Friday?
Envelope – Free stationary taken from the Marriott while on a business trip.
Snowflake address label – sent to me free and had to be used up.
Stained glass stamp – It was more then three feet away from me when I decided to get them so you know I didn’t see them clearly
Butterfly and Sunflower stickers on the back – Also free and required because the glue on the envelope was so old it no longer stuck.

Just a reminder that I'm bringing a bunch of burgers and dogs for the cookout on Saturday evening. I'm getting buns as well. If you want condiments, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, or anything other than bread and meet I would recommend bringing a healthy portion of that topping(s) you want to share with the group.
I know we have these last name starts with _ you're bringing a side, salad, desert, main guidelines. Since I'm bringing the main I'd recommend the mains bring toppings.
