Boatball, Wed, 5:30 PM, West Fork Riverside Park

Post by wiredforsound » Sun Mar 08, 2015 10:47 pm

It's that time of year again!!

Boatball season opener is this coming Wednesday, March 11, 5:30 PM at the Riverside Park in West Fork. The water level on the "playing field" should be just about perfect, we gain an extra hour of daylight & it's supposed to be mostly sunny with highs in the upper 60's so....Let's Get Ready to Rumble!!

If you've never played before come check it out it's a great way to get in paddling shape for the spring paddling season.

Please post up if you plan on joining us so those of us that drive a good distance can save on gas if we're not going to have enough for a game.

Come on out & play. :yahoo:

Link to information on what boatball is & the "rules" of play, if interested, can be found here:

Agreed,

Put me down for a possibility if I can't find anyone to float with in the afternoon.

FYI, West Fork won't be there, we were banging down it today.

Temps have crossed the 60+ range and headed for the 70's :grin:

Should be the perfect evening for some boatball for those of us that have to "Work for the Man", so to speak, or for some other reason can't get away early enough to get a run in before dark on one of our lovely Ozark streams.

Please post up if you're planning on joining us this evening!!
