Just one week later, in Piscataquis County, they will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of another fun opportunity for folks to hit the water and paddle hard.
One definitive rite of passage here in the Bangor area, and a sure sign that springtime is truly here, happened for the 55th time last weekend, and as always, a good time was had by all, who either participated or ventured out to have a look at all the fun.
At the end of this day of fun, awards will be presented between 2:30 pm - 3 pm. And, shuttle buses are available at the finish line to bring you back to Kenduskeag.
