| Our thanks to to all who participated and supported our 9th Annual Sacor River Canoe-A-Thon and cleanup!
The paddlers produced enough tires, discarded plastic, styrofoam, barbed wire and other metals to fill a Saco DPW dump truck. Remarkably all that trash was found by the 45 volunteers in a little less than three hours! Imagine what we could have done in six hours or with twice the number o boats!
Our sincere thanks to everyone who made this year’s event possible including: Carl Walsh at Biddeford Recreation Department and Eric Gagnon at Oceanwood Camp and Conference Center for loaning the canoes; Marisa Stam and the Starbucks Coffee staff who provided the caffeine and enthusiastic volunteer effort; Mark Lorello & everyone at Saco Department of Public Works for disposing of the collected debris; Jack & Vassie Fowler of Union House Café for the great post-paddle lunch; Captain Carl Lagerstrom of Bare Knee Point Kayak Rentals for his humor, time and dedication to keeping our paddlers safe; and the terrific prize donations from Tom’s of Maine, Eastern Mountain Sports, Joe Jones Ski & Sport Center, Rodgers Ski & Sport, and Stone Soup Artisans.
If you have an interest in particpating in next year's event as a volunteer or sponsor, please contact Maggie Daigle at 207-671-0643 or e-mail her at maggie@fbes.org! |
