This family friendly e vent is sponsored by the Brewerton Community Facebook group. We will be launching from L ight House Park on County Route 37 in the Town of Hastings. We will start t he paddle at 7:30 sharp. The event is for non-motorized vessels ONLY! Kayak , paddle board, canoe Etc.
We will have several safety/escort boats o
n the water from Caughdenoy and Brewerton Fire Departments as well as a pol
ice presence to assist our paddle. We will paddle towards the waterfront an
d turn around near 916, paddle back towards Caughdenoy to around the Wild H
orse and paddle back to light house park. There could be kayak/paddle board
rentals available at the park if you don’t have a kayak. (This is in the w
orks)
We also may possibly have some food trucks there as well.
Could there be a band/music? It’s possible if we get some sponsor money. Al l this is possible, not guaranteed.

f glow sticks, glow lanterns, head lamps etc. All floats must have some typ

places they are welcome.)
