Ledyard Canoe Club

The first annual Ledyard River Festival is scheduled for April 17-19 this year. Ledyard is taking over the Wells River Rumble from alum Jolyon Rivoir-Pruszinski and adding another creek race, a rodeo, a film premier, a presentation on the Romaine River in Quebec, and a big party to the weekend, making a full festival out of the weekend. Email nicholas.m.gottlieb@dartmouth.edu with questions, or keep an eye on this website for more info. Camping will be available near Hanover.

As many of you know, we didn’t have the race last Saturday due to the enormous tree that fell across the entire river creating a nasty strainer. Good news! The tree is gone, and we’re ready to race. The race will be on Thursday, May 1. The racer meeting will be at 5pm by the covered bridge, with the start soon after that. We are hoping that everyone can still make it out to race and have fun. Thank you very much to all of the racers who came Saturday and helped remove the tree.

The 2008 Mascoma Slalom is this Saturday, April 26. It will be taking place by the covered bridge at the intersection of Hardy Hill Road and Riverside Rd. This is the same location that has been used for the last 3 years.

Race registration begins at 10:00am. We will have a racer meeting at 10:30am and the race will begin at 11:00am. Please direct any questions to lcc@dartmouth.edu.
