Friday Female Funday Float

Buy tickets for Paddle On! Outfitters.com

Here it is ladies!!! If you've never attended, then make plans to join us this year. This all girls float trip is a blast and I promise you will want to make this an annual event for you and your girlfriends and relatives! This is a charity event to raise money for prostate cancer research and a cure. Again this year we will be raising money for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Chicago.
https://www.chicagoprostatefoundation.org/
Find the link on here to JC Screenprinting and order your shirt there. The shirt is your entry fee so YOU MUST BUY ONE to join. The fee for the shirt is $25 plus shipping. All proceeds go to our charity. You can put your team name or whatever you want on the back on that site. There will be an extra charge for long team names. Info is on the site. This years theme is HAWAIIAN! Make your team name or your name from something to do with TROPICAL...a song, an name, a phrase, a band, etc..... decorate your boat and yourself....have fun with it! If you decide to go at the last minute and haven't ordered a shirt, you can still go but you will have to pay the $25 when you get to the Legion and we may or may not have extra shirts for you. Like last year, we are asking that everyone collects at least $50 in DONATIONS to be turned in the day of the float. Again this year we will be giving away a KAYAK! In order to get put in the drawing you must bring $50, or more, in donations per person (not group). A little incentive to collect more donations! How exciting is that!? We are making koozies for you to sell again this year to help you raise money. On the T-shirt link, you can buy them and sell them for whatever amount you want to help you get your $50+ donation. So you can buy 20 koozies, sell them for $5 and take your money back that you pay for them and still have $ to donate! Lets do this!!! There are also men's T-shirts available on the site if any men want one. We will meet at the Deer Creek Legion NO LATER THAN 10:00am and be on the river by noon. NO ONE FLOATS ON AN INFLATABLE RAFT OR TUBE. They all either popped or had to be pulled behind a canoe the first year. They also float alot slower and there is no way to paddle or control where you are going. Please don't ask!
** Please contact Kim Williams with any questions on here or at 309-275-6408 or Lori Zimmerman
**Rent your canoe/kayak at one of these places:
Area 52 Mackinaw / Larry Morgan 309-208-1053 Canoes are $45 for 2 or 3 man and kayaks are $40. You must send him your rental money before he will reserve a boat for you! HE IS NOT TAKING HIS BOATS TO THE RIVER THIS YEAR. YOU MUST PICK UP AND DROP OFF YOURSELF AT AREA 52
