Mississippi Earthtones Festival
September 21 @ 10:00 am - 10:00 pm
Team River Runner and SLCAK will be co-hosting a booth at this event. This is a wonderful opportunity to encourage paddling on our beautiful rivers and lakes, as well as share information about our organizations. If you can spend an hour or two at the booth, please let our president know. (Carolyn@stlcanoekayak.com) We will set up our booth at 10:00 am and tear down at 10:00 pm. Even if you can’t work, stop by and hang out with us.
