Stonycreek Rendezvous May 13-15
Greetings!
You probably know about the Stony in the Alleghenies of southwestern PA. When it’s running, the Stonycreek Canyon offers nonstop action with 13 named rapids within five river miles. Now thanks to a new release valve, just installed on an upriver dam, we’ll be able to schedule whitewater!
May 13-15, we’re celebrating at this year’s Stonycreek Rendezvous. The first official releases – double of what’s ever been released for the Rendezvous before – will guarantee good water for Rendezvous events, such as the World Kayak Hometown Throwdown Series competitions and FREE playboating clinics. A great bunch of sponsors have donated gear and other prizes worth thousands for the events and a silent auction. Check out: http://benscreekcanoeclub.com.
Plus, we’re having epic rainfall, which means there’s a good chance that our other creeks/streams will be running during the Rendezvous weekend! Even if the water is up everywhere, Johnstown has more than a dozen streams from Class II-V within a 20-minute drive of the festival location.
We’re hoping you’ll help us in two ways:
1. Spread the word about the Rendezvous. People who “Like” our Facebook page will see updates as we get closer to the big weekend.
2. Consider a donation to support scheduled whitewater releases on the Stony. The Benscreek Canoe Club faces costs of $10,000 a year to keep the spigot on. Any donation will help!
Like our page. Donate to the cause. Then join us May 13-15!
