Paddle Now. Chores Later.
 PBS-featured Michigan author Doc Fletcher will lead a virtual canoe trip down the Pere Marquette and the Two Hearted River through his stories and photographs. You don't have to be a canoeing or kayaking enthusiast to enjoy the program, but you may become one by the time the evening ends! There will be a free drawing for a canoe/kayak day trip, as well as maps and livery brochures to help you plan your next paddling excursion. To learn more about Doc and his books, visit www.canoeingmichiganrivers.com.
