Safety Boats Needed for 2011 White River Canoe Race
Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 9:02 am
The White River Canoe Race, the national championship for scouts, is coming up on July 27-30. We could really use some safety boats (motorized or not) this year. Arkansas Canoe Club members have helped us out in the past and have also contributed to our Venture Crew 300 in many ways. Our website is http://www.scoutrace.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; We expect about 30 teams and 200 paddlers and adults for the race this year. We have teams coming from California, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. We are in need for safety sweeps to follow the scouts down on each day particularly the first day of the race, Thursday, July 28th from Bull Shoals dam to Norfork, Arkansas. We would be glad to feed the safety boat folks each night and give them a t-shirt. For more information, that can contact me at 479-264-1112. Thanks. -Stephen Lynn
