Jeni Fund for Paddlefest 2012
(Click above link to go to their website)

Leavitt Beach in Meredith, NH (not Laconia)
Registration: 10:00 am

Have fun in the sun while benefitting a great cause! We have an amazing day planned for you! Join us for a FUNtastic paddle in Meredith, NH.

There will be games, prizes, delicious food, terrific tunes, and lots of laughs all while enjoying scenic Lake Winnipesaukee.

The most creative costume and the best decorated boat will receive prizes.

Any boat powered by a paddle or an oar is welcome. Kayaks will be available for rent (no experience necessary.)

Sport and Marine Parafunalia is providing us with a number of paddle boards and a certified paddle board instructor so people can test out the latest water sport craze.

Also Mix 94.1 will be broadcasting live from the event. We're very excited to be partnering with both of them.

Please note that pre-registration is strongly recommended!

The Jeni Fund for Lung Cancer Research supports research to cure, treat, and prevent lung cancer.
Beneficiary of The Jeni Fund is The Lowe Center for Thoracic Oncology of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute of Boston.

We hope you'll join us and look forward to seeing you at the Lake!

"Any boat powered by a paddle is welcome?"

How about a canoe that is rowed with two oars pretty much similar to a rowing shell?

Like ...........does it make any difference to Paddlefest if someone rows a canoe with oars ............ as opposed to paddling a canoe with a paddle.......since it is called Paddlefest......and not Oarfest?

I bet if you had a paddle attached to your "patoot" with duct tape they'ed let you enter. As long as you paid the entry fee!

I have amended the above information to say, "Any boat or float powered by a paddle or an oar..."

There are oodles of paddles around Lake Winnipesaukee, and canoes too.

That's just a photo of " The Gathering Of The Canoes ", for the event in August here!... Ten-four??

SIKSUKR · 07-19-2012, 10:02 AM

OK,I want to know which one is the stand on boat?

Well I hope that photo wasn't taken in a No Rafting Zone

But seriously, I hope the organizers know their market, the website says it's $50 per adult to get in and you're expected to fund raise more. That seems a little high for a kayak event. I hope they are successful.

Lung cancer work and Dana Farber are great causes.
