Campton's REDNECK REGETTA

Yesterday we took in something that was new to us, THE REDNECK REGATTA.  This little known fund-raising event is held every year in Campton (a town about a 15 minute ride away).  The cost to participate is $20.00 per person and all proceeds go to charity.  The day starts with free coffee and donuts and then the fun begins.  This is a two mile race down the Pemi River ending at the Country Cow Restaurant where participants are treated to a free bar-b-que and live music.  We didn't see any racing, just a lot of relaxing, music and fun, floating down the river.  The trip downriver takes about 3-4 hours.   The fun part of this event is that you go downriver by any means possible.  We saw canoes, kayaks, air mattresses, truck tire tubes, plastic rafts, and even wood rafts built on sealed drums.  Participants are encouraged to decorate their means of transport in any imaginative way they can come up with.  This is a must-do for next year.  It was just TOO COOL!  Once their website is created, I will post a link to it.
