Fun Day Results August 2 2014
The 2013 LWRA Fun Day regatta was held on the Civic holiday again this year (Photos Here). As always there were lots of hot dogs and plenty to drink. Despite an ominous forecast, the weather was mostly co-operative, with only a few raindrops escaping the passing clouds once or twice through the afternoon.
44 people braved the raging snowstorm and bitter cold bright sunshine and mild temperatures this Family Day weekend to attend the LWRA celebration of winter.
All indications are the day was a great success! The weather was cooperative, warm and sunny with a light breeze. We had 32 children and 31 adults register as competitors for the various events, plus assorted spectators for an estimated attendance of over 100 people.
The most popular single event, by competitors, was the Sr. canoe race (20) followed closely by the Jr. Swim Race (18). The number of kayaks pulled up on shore equalled the number of canoes, showing just how popular these nimble little craft have become in recient years.
Looks like we bet on the right horse! The weather on Saturday was almost perfect, the weather on Sunday was wet.
UPDATE: The Fun Day Regatta will be held on Saturday, August 4 at 21 Cottage Lane. Registration starts at 12:00 noon.
"Demonstration" events this year are
Show off your membership! These classy and durable ID Plaques are available to members of the LWRA and their weatherproof construction means they can be mounted just about anywhere.
What do you do when it's -10° in the sun with a windchill of -20? Well if you are Canadian, you head outside to enjoy it!
We received great feedback from all who attended our first ever attempt at a winter social activity. The weather was cool and the wind was brisk, but the participants had lots of fun. And gallons of hot chocolate.
Fun Day was fun! Great weather too.
