Back at the first festival WWALS ever attended, it was fun. Thanks Jo Ford, Rindy Kennedy, Heather Brasell, and Gretchen Quarterman for helping.

Alapaha Station Celebration, Alapaha, GA 2024-11-09 Thanks, Rindy, Jo, Heather, and Gretchen

Rindy and Jo moved quite a few kayak raffle tickets, and one small boy insisted on getting one while Heather and I were packing up at the end of the day. That’s only $10 for one or $50 for six tickets. It’s a slightly used Skimmer 128 Hurricane kayak, which lists new for $1,399. The drawing is December 15, so get your tickets now.

Froggy toss

We met many regulars, and many people who had not heard of WWALS or Suwannee Riverkeeper.

Including one man who says he will bring a chainsaw to the Withlacoochee River Chainsaw Cleanup after Hurricane Helene, Troupville Boat Ramp 2024-11-16.

The crowd dropped off quite a bit in the afternoon, but that left time for discussing things in the booth. Such as get your comments in to the Georgia House Study Committee on Navigable Streams. The legislature needs to update the 1863 law from floating bales of cotton to what we actually use rivers for these days: paddling, motoring, fishing, and swimming.
