1st Annual Dog Paddle Event!

Have you ever wanted to take your pooch on a canoe trip down the river?  We are so excited to sponsor the 1^st Annual Dog Paddle event at Morgan’s Canoe in Ft. Ancient, Ohio.  It will take place on Sunday, May 23, 2010 from 10am-5pm.  If you are interested in attending, you can register online or you can register at the event.

Event Details:

• Registration Fee-$50 per canoe for early registration and $60 per canoe for walk-up registration
  • Registration fee includes a canoe for two adults, two children and a dog and lunch for everyone.  (For large dogs, one less person in the canoe).
• 3 mile canoe, kayak, or raft trip ending at the beautiful Riverside Park and Campground.  After the trip down the river, there is a nice 2.2 mile walk back to the livery alongside the pristine bike trail (Return transportation is available, if needed).
• After the trip, you can eat lunch, visit exhibitors, and participate in fun contests like a dog fashion show, “Dog Eat Dog” hotdog eating contest, fetching, and dog maze/obstacle course.
• Free Parking & Barking

The event will benefit Cancer Free Kids, which is a great organization!!  Cancer can affect our two-legged and four-legged family members and friends.  Hopefully, one day we can find a cure for this life threatening disease.  I was doing some reading on their website and here is some info I found about this organization……

• Founded in 2002 to ensure funding is made available to researchers who are working hard every day to find a cure.
• Mission is to eradicate cancer as a life-threatening disease in children by funding promising research that might otherwise go unfunded.
• Thirty years ago, just 10% of kids diagnosed with cancer survived.  Today, thanks to advances in research, about 80% of children will beat the disease.

The event is going to be a lot of fun and benefit a great cause!  Hope you can make it with your four-legged pal.  I can’t wait to see all the pooches at the river for a day of relaxation and fun!!!

Please note that Morgan’s Outdoor Adventures, Inc. is operating this event.
