                           Sixth Annual MidHudson ADK PaddleFest
       The 6th annual MidHudson ADK PaddleFest will be held on Saturday, June 2nd, at Plum Point in New Windsor from 10:45 AM to 4:45 PM.  The hours have been extended, this year, because there will be more outfitters, as well as, our own MHADK volunteers providing many more activities.  Bring your own kayak or canoe and gear.  If you don't have a kayak, but want to try, there will be kayaks to take for a spin.  There will be kayak lessons for beginners (kayaks and gear will be provided).  There will be canoe lessons for beginners (canoes and gear will be provided).  
   
  Those paddlers with their own kayaks and gear will have the opportunity to take a kayak rescue skills class.  This class will cover wet exits, solo paddle float recovery and assisted T-rescues and scoop rescues.  To sign-up for this class, contact Marshall Seddon of The River Connection at marshall at the-river-connection.com or 845-229-0595 or 845-242-2731.  
   
  There will be kayak races.  To sign-up for racing, contact Ellen Albert at ellen_humphrey at yahoo.com or 845-473-4172.  There will also be a guided Hudson River paddle for experienced paddlers with their own boats and gear.  There will be a presentation on the Greenland style of kayaking.  There will be children's activities.  
   
  We will again have a used gear sale.  If you have paddling, camping or hiking gear that you'd like to sell, contact Russ Faller at russoutdoors at yahoo.com or 845-297-5126.  
   
  Bring a picnic lunch or cookout food (grills on site) and enjoy magnificent vistas of the Hudson River's only fjord.  Wear clothing that can get wet (synthetics not cotton) and water shoes (e.g. non-leather sandals, old sneakers) or bring a change of clothes.  And don't forget your family and friends!  Let's meet on the 2000' beach and have some fun!
