OT Blues Festival in Helena

[Minna Ulmer]

The AR Blues and Heritage Festival in Helena is an awesome event for all music festival lovers. I missed last year but plan to go this year. Wasnt there a post about a paddle event near there last year? Seems to me it involved the opening of a store with canoes etc in the area. Im not sure how to look up the post(if there was one) Thanks, Minna

Yeah Quapaw builds some of the most amazing dugout canoes you will ever see (IMHO). They have workshops where you can help dig 'em out! (Lotsa fun). They also do float trips down the Sunflower River there in Clarksdale, MS. (I think its called the sunflower...) Anyway, their # is 662.627.4070 Hope to see ya down there!

The Sunflower is correct... John Rusky also does runs down the Mississippi River...
