VKC Whitewater Festival - totally awesome!

About 150 people showed up from many corners of the PNW and further afield (PG, WA, Alberta, Manitoba, Australia). Shuttles ran smoothly, camping set-up worked great, the downriver race went without a hitch and dinner was excellent (thanks for the flowers, Dave). Rain stopped on cue for the evening, when three VKC alumni entertained with stories from the past, prices for race and raffle were distributed and the band got everybody into perfect party mood including audience participation with a cow-bell solo and singing performances. Sunday came with sunshine, more river runs and other activities. Thanks to the many volunteers for putting on this excellent event (especially Christian and Farzana). Thanks to the sponsors for their help and the many great prices!

Pictures coming soon.
