When: May 1-3rd, 2009 - Race on May 2nd, Race starts 1:23pm at Put-in.

Where: Nordheimer section of the Cal-Salmon.

Cost: As always everything is free. Due to permit and insurance issues there is a $5 insurance fee for anyone who is not ACA. Sorry but this is just how it goes sometimes. Raffle wristbands are $10 each.

Needed: Safety and Volunteers. More on this later but if you can help out I can definitely use your help.

Themed Race: There is a Monsters vs Pornstars theme to the race. Everyone is encouraged to race in their costume, just be sure you'll still float...and doesn't litter the river!

IF YOU PACK IT IN PLEASE PACK IT OUT. LET'S DO ALL WE CAN TO KEEP THE SALMON RIVER BEAUTIFUL!
