Plus Valdosta Mayor Scott James Matheson and family posed with the Vibe Sea Ghost 130 kayak he donated, which WWALS is raffling off. The boat retails for $1,300 and comes with paddle and rudder. The Mayor says he used it only once.

It was a fine day, sunny, not hot, not cold, and plenty of volunteers, including Sharon Ross, Jesse and Marina Cole, and Gee Edwards. The festival is at Drexel Park in Valdosta, on One Mile Branch, which flows into Sugar Creek and the Withlacoochee River, on the WWALS Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail.
