Friends of the Winooski River Events

The date is set for the 2019 River of Light --- 7/18/19. The photo posted is blurry, but you get the idea. We had dozens of beautiful boats, and an amazing moonrise. You can see more on our FB page: https://www.facebook.com/friendsofthewinooskiriver/ (If you were at this year's event and have photos, please post them on our FB page. Thanks!) So, mark your calendar now to save that evening. (Rain date: following day) Also, if you are interested in volunteering for planning next year, please Message me. Planning team does get to paddle, just a few tasks need to be done in advance to make it a success. Remember - 7/18/19! See you there.
