What a great time we had at the RAF Paddle & Jam! The paddle was beautiful! Saw some old faces and some new faces! 301 Travelers were awesome! We made raised over $500 for the Water Warrior Alliance! It was a great day!

Thank you to all who came out to get on the water, listen to the music, enjoy the food, and raise money for a good cause!

Special thank yous to Stella for helping plan the event and getting the details in order, David and Natalie Farrow (Russell's brother and SIL) for coming to support, the General Store and Market for giving us the space, Chad Maynard for guiding the paddle, 301 Travelers for the awesome music, and the Jenna from the Water Warrior Alliance for sharing your time and work with Russell!
