Urge President Trump:
Reform the Ethanol Mandate!
The EPA has announced its plans to further increase the country's ethanol mandates, surpassing the current record high levels finalized less than one year ago. Despite overwhelming evidence, they unilaterally decided to increase the country's mandated ethanol amounts requiring the American public to consume 1.2 billion more gallons of renewable fuel. It's very likely the EPA's decision will lead to more E15 being sold to unassuming consumers across the country-increasing the likelihood of a boater buying it accidentally!

Clearwater's Great Hudson River Revival
After a year's hiatus, the 2017 Clearwater Festival will take place on Saturday and Sunday, June 17th and 18th 2017 at Croton Point Park in Croton-on-Hudson, NY.
Inspired by Pete Seeger's desire to clean up the river over forty years ago, Clearwater's Great Hudson River Revival initially helped raise the funds to build the sloop Clearwater, which has since become a world-renowned floating classroom and a symbol of effective grassroots action.
Clearwater's Great Hudson River Revival (aka "the Clearwater Festival" or "Revival") features seven sustainably powered stages with diverse music, dance, storytelling and family-oriented programming as well as a juried Handcrafters' Village, the Green Living Expo, the Working Waterfront with small boat exhibits and rides, the Artisanal Food & Farm Market, environmental education displays and exhibits, and the Circle of Song where audience participation is the focus.
It's a great festival, Get your tickets... HERE
