I am excited to announce that Chad and Linda Ward are the new owners of Norris Paddling Adventures and Adventures Outdoors! Chad has been with the company for a few years, and I’m confident he’ll do a great job being a leader in Paddlesports in the Oak Ridge and Norris Lake areas in the future. Under Chad’s leadership, he'll be able to continue providing the same great service that our customers have come to expect. Thanks for your continued support!

Great story of why Michigan’s quarterback J.J. McCarthy draws a smiley face on his hand before every game.

“It’s a subtle way of promoting positivity in this world, because this world needs it,” McCarthy said.

A simple gesture from a 7 year old that turned into a movement.
