Wester PA Solo Canoe Rendezvous Cancelled
TCT, Bruce Kemp sent the following message today, April 27, regarding the Western PA Solo Canoe Rendezvous:
Though it will come as no great surprise I’m sure, given the Coronavirus situation still abroad in our country, we have reluctantly but officially cancelled the 13th edition of the Rendezvous for 2020. It is quite clear, and has been for some weeks really, that it will just not yet be safe enough to conduct, nor travel to, nor to attend a “large gathering” event like the Rendezvous by the first weekend in June here in west PA. Bans on such gatherings and a continuation of social distancing measures in PA generally (and pretty much just about everywhere else) are likely to remain in effect for the foreseeable future – certainly past June 1 - despite gradual and incremental moves to re-open this and other states’ economies and inch back to “normal”.
We’ll greatly miss getting together with y’all at Cooper’s Lake to, as we always say, mess about with canoes to the exclusion of all other Reality. But these days there’s a Reality we just can’t in good conscience ignore. We plan to reschedule edition #13 in 2021. Just a little delayed, is all…
And as always, with all of you coming, it’ll still be - as it always is - a Very Nice Affair indeed…
Stay well and safe, Everybody. Better times a’comin……
