2008 River Ride & Eco Fiesta

It’s time to Ride and Celebrate Norfolk’s wonderful natural waterways!

River Ride: We have added two new put in points, one at the newly renovated Haven Creek Boat Ramp in Colonial Place and one in Ocean View at the 20th Bay Avenue, near the East Ocean View Recreation Center. Both new locations will be a “loop” tour, and will return to the same start point. Larchmont Library and the Robertson Rowing Center at Lakewood Park will be back on the tour. We again have the assistance and excellent boats from some great local tour companies.

Eco Fiesta: The Eco Fiesta starts at 5pm at the Ernie Morgan Center, includes great food, music, beverages, children’s activities and exhibitors. I have attached an announcement about that. Tickets can be purchased through the Ernie Morgan Center. Larger quantities of tickets can be purchased through FONE Board member Debora Mosher- 857-4754 / deboramosher@aol.com.

It should be a fun day and we hope you will join us to celebrate the River by paddling, partying or both, and support our local environmental education programs.

Please call our offices if you have any questions and we will see you on the River on May 2nd!

Please feel free to forward this to your friends and family members!
