Pirates Ahoy! 30 days until the Pirates of the Tuck trip

Did you know that one of Week of Rivers’ most popular events — the Pirates of the Tuckasegee flotilla — is only 30 days away!  Official trip date is Sunday, July 4th.  Gather your pirate flags, eye patches and parrots and plan to join us.  Don’t forget your waterguns or you’ll be sorry (and wet).  If you have never participated, this is a family-friendly event.  Rough housing that jeopardizes the fun is not allowed.  If you want to see pictures or video, head over to CCC’s Facebook page and search for Michelle Bate’s July 12, 2018 pics and Tim Shields’ July 8, 2019 video.  [Thanks, Michelle & Tim!]  If your family needs a raft or duckie, make arrangements for the rental in advance.  Local rumors suggest that the Bryson City, Dillsboro and NOC areas will be raging over the July 4th weekend.
