Dan Mahan: April 2009 Archives

Limited edition 2009 Paddlefest prints are now available for purchase. The Ohio River Way & Paddlefest commissioned Neltner Creative to create the official Paddlefest poster. Artist Keith Neltner, in collaboration with Tom Post have brought this limited-edition print to life. Each print was hand-printed by the fine print maker, Mike Amann. There is also a special "glow-in-the-dark" edition available. Very limited quantities are available, so secure you print now, or at Ohio River Music, Arts & Outdoor Festival on Friday, June 26.

Compete in Two Great Races on Two Great Rivers in Two Great States on the same day, June 27, 2009. Race on the Ohio at Paddlefest in Cincinnati, in either the 14 mile pro or 9 mile amateur race starting at 7:30 a.m. Then race on Indiana's Whitewater in a 8.4 mile run with dam-release starting at 1:00 p.m. just 44 miles from the Paddlefest finish line. Two kinds of Races. Two kinds of Rivers. Two great events. The Midwest's biggest day of canoe and kayak racing on Saturday, June 27 in the metro-Cincinnati area.

Paddlefest and Canoefest are separate events, with separate registrations, but together we offer you the ultimate racing experience. Don't drive hundreds of miles for a paddling race, drive hundreds of miles for 2 paddling races!
