Fifteen paddlers turned out Saturday morning, July 16 for the 1st annual Musquodoboit River Canoe Race, and although numbers were less then hoped for those in attendance had a great race.
The course, encompassing the river from Brandy Springs to Lays Lake, offered gentle meanders, deep water, few rocks and beautiful scenery.
