Chairperson Brian Armitage says it’ll be busy on the shore and busy on the water.
“There are 28 boats. That’s over 800 paddlers alone. Then on the second half of the day we’re introducing 100m sprint racing…these things are going to go fast,” says Armitage. “It creates its own atmosphere, it’s a family event, there’s fun on the water, there is fun on the ground. We have children’s activities and vendors, and the children’s stuff is all free, courtesy of the BIA.”
This year is the 15th year for the popular event.
