2006 Hidalgo Falls Festival Competition Results

Thanks very much to all of the participants in the whitewater events. I had my doubts as to whether anyone would want to do the events with the low water, but it was a very respectable turnout. Much thanks to Bob Ward for being the finish line for both races and to Pete Cragg for helping me set up the buoys for the slalom race. Thanks to Steve Daniel for doing the finish timing on the slalom, and thanks to my wife Angelina and to John Bailey for helping me with the Rodeo judging. Last, but not least, thanks to my lovely wife for making the prizes (very nice etched beer glasses).

Local Boater Saves Lives... again

Local Boater Saves Lives!!!

There is cause for much back slapping since Ken's brave day on the wave. For those of you that haven't heard we have ourselves a heroe many times over in our own Ken.
