Hi - this is a totally FUN family event; there are land based volunteer opportunities, and it is a great chance to scope out good boats:
The 2017 Onion River Race and Ramble will be held on Sunday June 4th. Get your friends and neighbor and enjoy a paddle along the Winooski River between Bolton and Richmond. It promises to be a day of excitement, camaraderie, and fun! Details are at www.winooskiriver.org.
The Race and Ramble has a paddling class for everyone! Want to paddle but not race? Be a Rambler. Want to paddle as a family? Sign up for the Youth/Family class. Want to race but don't have a long or fancy boat? Join one of the Recreational classes. And of course, there are classes for the fast and furious! Sign up early as space is limited.
A light lunch by the Richmond Grange is included in your registration fee. There will also be burgers for purchase from the local cub scout troop. There will be music by Colin McCaffrey.
The Friends need volunteers too! Some of the volunteer slots are early so you can paddle too and your race fee will be waived. Info is found at the Friends website.
Sponsored by the Friends of the Winooski River with support from Umiak, Clearwater Sports, Concept2, the Vermont River Conservancy and the Richmond Grange. Proceeds will be used to protect and restore the Winooski River watershed.
