It was a lot of fun for all ages last year, and you can paddle this year! The WWALS Boomerang is coming up Saturday, October 24, 2020, at State Line Boat Ramp on the Withlacoochee River. You can choose 1, 2, or 3 miles downstream into Florida, and then back up.
There is plenty of room for distancing at the boat ramp, and even more room on the water.
Each of the winners in many categories gets one of those WWALS Boomerang tumblers, and there’s a $100 First Prize!
Tickets are on sale now, $20 online until October 15, then $30 at the event.
