51st Boatnik - Grants Pass, Oregon Boatnik
2010 was better than ever! The Active Club of Grants Pass, Oregon has again made Boatnik something special.
This is the 51st Boatnik, and it certainly has been memorable! The Boatnik festival draws people from all over the country, and is as lively and interesting at the Oregon state fair.
The Grants Pass population of 33,000 must have swelled to over 150,000 people for this Boatnik weekend. Earnings brought in by Boatnik go to benefit children's programs, and again, we need to thank the Active Club for their community spirit.
Everything was well planned and orchestrated.
After the Boatnik Memorial services on Monday, the boat races began, and at one point people were lining three bridges across the wild Rogue River. Boatnik has treated us to four exciting days, and more memories that will long linger.
Come visit us during next years' Boatnik and see how friendly everyone is in Southern Oregon! Total strangers just walk up and start a conversation.
Maybe it's because everyone is so happy to live in such a beautiful place!
