Hey fellow boaters! Moore Outdoors is holding its 3rd Annual Memorial Day Boat Race, and we are also adding Creek Fest this year. So here are all the details for this exciting weekend! Its starts on Friday May 27th and continues until Monday May 30th!

For the people that do not want to read all of this:
Pass for all weekend (Fri, Sat, and Sun)--$25.00
Camping per night--$10.00
...Gate fee--$5.00 per person
Boat Race/Creek Fest shirt--$15.00
Boat Race Registration Fee (includes T-shirt)--$15.00
WE ARE STILL ACCEPTING CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS!!!

The race is going to be held on Sunday, May 29th and it starts at 2:00 p.m. The race will be a five mile float starting at Long Pool and the finish line will be at Twin Bridges. The race will be conducted in heats and winners will be determined based off the best time of each team or person. We will have six different categories for boaters to compete in.
*Men Tandem
*Men Solo
*Women Tandem
*Women Solo
*Co-ed
*Kayak
*Raft
*Parent/Child (Nash you are not considered a child.)

**Registration**
Registration can be done at Moore Outdoors and online. Registration will end on Sunday, May 29th at 12:00 p.m. The fee for each team member or solo participant is $15.00 and you will receive a Moore Outdoors Boat Race/Creek Fest t-shirt, don’t miss out on getting one! Each team member is expected to bring their own boat and provide their transportation to and from the destinations. We can provide boats, life jackets, paddles, and shuttles if you need them, but you must pre-pay for any equipment (boats, life jackets, paddles etc). We must have boat reservations paid for because although we want everyone to be able to compete in this race, we can’t hold boats on Sunday for participants and risk the chance of people not showing up. We will have other customers not competing in the race. We are still accepting credit and debit cards so you can prepay for your t-shirt and race fee to get it out of the way.

**Camping**
Moore Outdoors is going to have a $25.00 pass that you can buy for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for camping and all the live music you can handle. If you choose to stay just one or two nights it is going to be $10.00 per night, per person. We have bracelets for you to wear while you are camping that you will receive at the gate or the store after you pay. We will have someone at the campgrounds taking money and directing you to your campsite on all three days. We will be taking reservations for camping, please contact Debbie at the store (331-3606). If there is no one at the campground at the time you pull in, do not just pitch your tent. Please go to the store to pay the camp fee first and to make sure others have not already reserved the campsites. We also have to have each person fill out liability forms as well so all this must be done before you camp. PLEASE DO NOT JUST PITCH YOUR TENT ANYWHERE! If it is in the wrong place you could possibly be asked to move your things!

The music lined up for Creek Fest is awesome!
