Time for Franklin County Pigg River Ramble

By
Real Estate Agent with Prudential Waterfront Properties

We told you about it way back in January so you would have plenty of time to make plans to visit Smith Mountain Lake and enjoy the 9th Annual Pigg River Ramble. Well, just in case you forgot, the Ramble is next weekend May 14th through 16th. It will be a fun time for the whole family!

It all starts with the Blackwater Blackout on May 14th. Registration, music and food are scheduled for 5pm- 7pm. The Blackout begins at 7pm. Boats and other means of water transportation will only be allowed to light the way with non-electrical sources of light. You will see them adorned with everything from Pigg River- Smith Mountain Lakeflashlights to glow sticks. The first 300 participants registered will receive a free t-shirt commemorating the event!

On Saturday the 15th, the Pigg River Ramble begins! The race starts at 10:30am and floaters start at 11:20am. This is an eight mile race ending with a barbeque and post race fun at Waid Park. You can end your weekend with Breakfast on the Blackwater. This is a three mile float with breakfast served about 45 minutes after the start. Enjoy a beautiful riverside breakfast!

It is not too late to join in the fun of this wacky river race! Whether you are looking for a home along the river or lakefront property in Franklin County, call Vicki Millehan! She is your local real estate expert for Smith Mountain Lake and the surrounding areas!
