April 28th, 2024 Spring Picnic / Rower’s progression / Flip practice! @ Spring Picnic
Apr 28 @ 11:00 am – 4:00 pm

WRRR’s annual spring picnic will be moved back to Lake Ballinger Boat ramp in Mountlake Terrace.  Come dial in your flip technique and bbq in style Sunday!

The Club BBQ is Sunday, April 28th. The fun starts at 11am, and there will be a potluck BBQ – the club will provide burgers, dogs, and a grill, and you can bring some goodies to share. We can also go over other river safety topics, like Z-drags and throwbag use, for anyone who is new to this or just wants some practice.

This is a great opportunity to get together with your boating friends and meet some new people, talk gear, and even plan trips. This is a fun and entertaining day on the lake.

Usually we start by sharing stories and flipping boats.  Jim fires up the grill when people get hungry.  Hope to see you there!!!
