Who were these fantastic helpers? Joe Allen from Scooter Joe’s designed and managed our website. Sue Bailey was the financial and records guru. Vicki Born, Pat Eichenlaub, Frank Eichenlaub, Mary Jo Isbrecht, Dave Kosonovich, Rich Mah, Alice Ford, Rick Klitchman, Bruce Banghart, and Pricilla Banghart all joined in to plan the event and volunteered to help. Plus, when we needed it, all the Berrien Paddlers helped with money and support.
And our Friends! We could not have done it without Lakeshore Shell and Food Mart, Ryan at The Third Coast Surf Shop, Kerry at Harbor Shores, Alan at Biggby Coffee, Joe at American Boat Club, and Scooter Joe’s, Adrienne at A Yoga Muse, REI Chicago, Roger Petzke of Troff, Petzke & Ammeson, Jill at PerryBallard, Greg at Powell Construction, The Village of Berrien Springs and Shamrock Park, The City of St Joseph, The Livery, and Doe-Wah-Jack’s Canoe and Kayak Rental. Please, please, please, when you need a service or to buy something, support the folks that helped us so much!
We had a wonderful time both during the planning and paddling. Hope to see you out on our wonderful water!
All the best … The Paddle Fest Team
