The event keeps getting better, this year we had perfect weather and a great water level. Kayaks, canoes, and rafts all on a class 3 river. Over 100 paddlers showed up for the festival, for a few it was the first time going down the river.
Mike Manger took first place in the white-water rodeo, second went to Brody Johnson, third place and the crowd favorite was Dave Jergenson in a Mohawk Probe canoe.
This year’s winner of the “Kettle River Run” was a Perception Pirouette, paddled by Natalie Griffith. The race combines white water skill and paddling strength, great job Natalie.
River race, rodeo, fireworks, a big paddlers party with great sponsors. Put it all on a beautiful, wild river and it’s no secret the Kettle River Paddle Fest is getting a reputation,
“laid back and action packed”.
I’m already looking forward to next year.
