From the Deck of Mayor Dirksen
I challenge
all elected officials in the Portland area to put your best paddle
forward
in the 3rd annual Mayor's Challenge Paddle Race on the Tualatin
River. Arrr, here's yer chance to defend
yer city's honor!
It is my intention that this
year my goal of defeating all comers, will not be denied! I'm
hopeful that my victory will lead to re-naming the Tualatin the
"Tigard River"!
So those of you who (by
questionable methods) managed to beat me across the finish line last year- be
forewarned! And as for the rest of ye landlubbers, while I can
understand yer trepidation in facin' the superior navigational skills and
physical prowess of those of us who left ye in our wake, here's yer
chance to restore yer tarnished reputation.
And 'lest we
forget the newly-electeds (hello Mayor Hoffman)~ here's yer chance to gain
some... shall we say, river "cred?"
Grab yer paddles and accept me challenge!
Captain Craig Dirksen
