Join us to celebrate our 25th anniversary on Friday, October 4, for a special event on the Ridgefield Waterfront! Guests will have the option to partake in a pre-registered sunset paddle on Lake River with the City of Ridgefield’s Dragon Boats, following a welcoming blessing from the Chinook Indian Nation and the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. Those not interested in paddling but who would like to celebrate the anniversary may stay for hot chocolate, wine, desserts, and music by the water, by the boat ramp and picnic area. An area for those under 21 will include crafts and treats. Registration is required for the paddle, and participants should arrive by 5:30 PM for a 6 PM start. Entry to the celebration will require an ID check and a $10 fee. For those unable to pre-register, we will be accepting payment at entry also.
(this ticket does not serve as entry to the Dragon Boat Paddle)
