Talking OCT 2nd cancelled! On for OCT 1st!!!

Sorry for the delay in posting, but it is football season and I go to alot of games.

We are going to cancel the run on Oct 2nd on the Mahoning River.
Instead we are going to join the River Watchers on the Shenago River, for the opening of the north section of the river.

Here is the email I received


Dear Trumbull County Canoers,
Our nearby organization, the Shenango River Watchers (shenangoriverwatchers.org), are planning a big day on the river for October 1. We call it "PaddleFest 2011." The purpose is to celebrate and announce the re opening of the channel of the upper Shenango River to canoes and kayaks. As we "speak," a team of men and horses are hard at work clearing obstructions from the river from the dam in Pymatuning State Park, down to Riverside Park in Greenville (we'll do the balance of the river, down to Shenango Res., next year). That is a distance of about 8-9 miles. All Class 1 flat water, some riffles. And, no obstructions or portages!

Date: Saturday, October 1.

A free shuttle from Riverside Park/Greenville to the put-in at the dam from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. (drop your canoe at the launch below the dam, then
drive to Greenville, leave your car there and take our shuttle back to the dam)

All canoes/kayaks on the water from 10:00 a.m. to about 10:30 a.m.

Free hot dog/soft drink lunch from noon till about 1:30 p.m.

Clean flush toilets/washrooms at both ends of the float.

Would you be kind enough to let me know if you are interested in taking part on this day? Either individually or as an organization? Email me, or call me directly at 724 927 9483.

Very truly yours,

Hugh Clark
Shenango River Watchers, Inc.

I am call him and let hugh know that way we are all a go for the 1st
The Put in is off of Rt 322 on Dam rd as you cross over the dam. I don't have a exact address for it, but her is the Latitude: 41.4983867 by Longitude: -80.4614582

The Address for Riverside Park is Memorial Dr, Greenville, PA 16125

I really hope for a big turn out from our club to show support for the river watchers and all the work they have done
