Hell or High Water V - Save The Date

Save the dates for this year's Hell or High Water weekend, sponsored by Trailhead Paddle Shack - OPS Padling.

As much as HOHW is a paddling event, there is much more to it. The event was started as a way to demonstrate and document use of the Petawawa river. The need to do this remains. Please attend the event, but as importantly, paddle the river. We want to document the use. We want to ensure a good show for the spectators. We want to make this river as important for the community as it is for us. Please race. Please bring your friends. Get them in a raft. Get them in a dragon boat.

===

It starts on Friday May 10th with the Reel Paddling Fim Festival.
Saturday May 11th is the whitewater raft, kayak and canoe races, the dragon boat races at Jubilee Lodge, and free photography clinics through John Rathwell.
Sunday May 12th is the whiewater race on the Upper Petawawa.

As always, there will be a dinner and awards, music, cheap camping and all the money we raise goes to great causes. T-shirts, etched beer mugs, hats for sale. Stickers for free.

If all goes well, we will have some NEW ADDITIONS.

Saturday - Boatercross Race
Saturday - Slalom Race
Sunday - "The Animal" Upper Petawawa Race.

And, we will need help with safety boaters, administrative duties, and general labour. If you can lend a hand, please shoot us a note to hohwpetawawa@hotmail.com
