Paddle in the Park, Crystal Lake, IL.

Canoe Nut
Hi All,

Over the weekend I was at Paddle in the Park in Crystal Lake, IL. showing a few canoes, talking to folk and flying the WCHA Banner with the assistance of Paul Klonowski.

I had three Old Towns and a Peterborough canoe on display.

A young couple with a few children were admiring the canoes when the question of age came up.

When I mentioned they ranged from 70 to 99 years, one of the kids said "wow that's older than Grampa", I said just a minute that's a bit close to home, I'm a Grampa.

Always fun to meet people and talk canoes,

Paul

Mostly, I just assisted with unloading & loading canoes. Paul's the brains behind the outfit... he's forgotten more about wooden canoes than I'll ever know...
