It's finally time! We're hauling the boats back to the water this Sunday, May 10th, and we need your muscles... or at least your smiling face! Come out, lend a hand, and let's get this party started! We'll be gathering at 10:30am sharp at the seacan in the first parking lot of Heritage park. Can't wait to see all the familiar faces and some new ones too!
