26th Annual American River Festival June 22-24, 2007

---

Updates:We have a total of a $700 cash purse divided among the top 3 winners of the whitewater rodeo this year. The generous donation is provided by the Jeff Ellis fund in his memory and in the spirit of whitewater rodeo revival. We have no big names participating this year in the rodeo so winning is wide open. We also hope to have new 2 added events: hot air balloon rides and fly fishing demos. Check out the updated website! www.americanriverfestival.org

The 26th annual festival features a Fri evening whitewater film at the River Store, Sat: whitewater rodeo, West Coast Championship Raft Race finals, \"3 NEW EVENTS\" Old School Paddle: with RPMs or older kayaks, \"Kid's Kayaking Fun Fest\" - Saturday noon-4pm,& Boatercross; dinner/dance with LIVE MUSIC featuring a local Sacramento band “Out of Place” www.outofplacemusic.com, silent auction with 40% off all donations, raffle, booths, awards and other activities and Sunday: slalom race. We also have a tentative fly-fishing demo that is scheduled for Sat at Chili Bar. Festival admission is in the form of parking fees only at various Coloma area parks. Proceeds benefit the American river Conservancy, American Canoe Association river conservation & stewardship division, Friends of the River, and American Whitewater. All are non-profit agencies committed to river conservation.
