5 000$ in prizes at a creek race
So the Festival Eau Vive du Haut Saint-Maurice is back this year on May 30-31 and June 1st. And what so special about this festival, it's the only festival with a creek race with prizes in Quebec, but it's also the only festival where, on their first years, the had 27 paddlers registered before the race, 20 paddlers at the start of the first run and less than 10 on the second run. Why, because everybody was dropping out since it was to much of an extreme creek run for the average boater. So why am I writting this. Yesterday I spoke with one of the organiser and he told me that they are expecting to be able to raise the prizes up to 5 000$ to make it a proboater race and brings some names at the fest.
