Fun Day

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.

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. 

Fun Day was fun! Great weather too.
