Event Description

I once again have the pleasure of formally announcing the annual Wooden Boat Parade. The original parades started some time in the late 1920's or 1930's. You can partake in the modern version yourself.

Drift boaters need to bring their boats to the Finn Rock Landing boat launch site early enough to get their vehicles shuttled (for free) and have their boats ready to float by 10 AM. 

We then float as a group down to Eagle Rock Lodge. There the boats will be beached and become part of the display at the 8th Annual McKenzie River Wooden Boat Festival.

At the conclusion of the display we will transport your trailer down to the beach so you can retrieve your boat.

We need a couple of volunteers to drive garden tractors to assist in moving boats to the lawn and trailers to the boats when the event is over. Contact Rick Newman.

If people can help shuttle or help with parking please contact me too.

Regards,

Rick Newman

Hal, There is a post from Randy about obtaining posters, it's currently the third from the bottom. Hal, it has been worth the trip for me, I have met many great people and seen some wonderful boats. It's wonderful to see the craftsmanship and hear the stories.
