Jackson Kayak has donated a Shooting Star kids playboat for give-away at Families Paddle Too! Memorial Weekend Co-Club event because Jackson knows that “dynamite comes in small packages.”

On a beautiful sunny November afternoon, my mom asked, “Greta, do you want to run the Middle Haw this weekend?”  I gulped, “Yeah, sure.”   The Middle Haw?  No sweat, right? I’ve done the Tuck, the Nanty and the Lower Pigeon.  No problem.  But you know what?  A part of me screamed, “Pause!”   You see, I had chickened out on a run on the Middle Haw earlier in the paddling season.
