We're expecting 1000+

We will have 10-15 mounted police directing traffic, and there is a large field across from the Paddlefest that can be used for parking.

We have 4 food vendors also.

Come by the KBFTN booth, we'll be right next to the Hook1 booth. I'll be the bearded guy. My new boat just came in today so we'll be hanging out rigging it.

I really wanted to come but the lil ones wanted me to take them to see "Bye Bye Birdie" at the school.

It was a great turnout. Better than expected, well over 1000. We are already starting to work on 2016 with more kayaks, more sups, and more volunteers.

I made it to the paddlefest and brought my son along. We had a good time and got to paddle around on a two seat kayak. He wanted to jump in and go swimming the whole time

I passed by your booth Jeremy and would have stopped to say hi, but you had a number of folks intently discussing the rigging of your kayak so we kept on moving.

Fun time and thanks for your hard work in making it happen.

Jim

Thanks Jim you should have stopped anyway. It was a lot of hard work by a lot of people. Next year will be bigger and better with more kayaks and paddleboards to try out. It seemed as if we had someone at our tent all day, it was great.
