 Sunday, August 5, 2012 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM  Join with fellow Beth Jacob members for a day of paddling starting above Ford Dam and ending below Snelling Park.
Our trip will include going through the lock and dam system at Ford Dam (Dam #1), paddling through the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers and a stop-over on Pike Island for lunch. Because of the higher than usual water flow this year, participants need to have prior experience paddling. For questions or information, contact Rabbi Liberman at learn@beth-jacob.org or Bruce Kessler at bskess@earthlink.net. There is no cost, but please register here by Thursday, August 3 to let us know you'll be there!  Click to add this event to your calendar |
