* Easy Spectating
* Guaranteed Water
DOWNTOWN SMACK DOWN: Sat. 4/8/06, this year the smackdown is going to be a little more laid back, we'll paddle the race release after the Mascoma Slalom finishes up upstream (4pm or so) and if anyone wants to race awesome, if not, no worries- Downtown Section of the Mascoma R., Lebanon, NH.

No entry fee.
WELLS RIVER RUMBLE: Sun. 4/9/06, THIS IS THE REAL DEAL.
competitor's meeting 12:30pm - Lower Wells River, VT. Mass start rapid-by-rapid sprints and full-length downriver race. Plus a 3-person team race. The race course is 1 mile of class 4-5 pool-drop rapids and ledges (up to 14ft). USGS records indicate guaranteed water. Participants park at the Fish and Game area off Rte 302 VT, 1.5 miles east of the Exit 17 off I-91. $10 entry fee gets you a t-shirt and a shot at the prizes.
