Ready, set, PADDLE!

The first annual Paddlefest was held on Clear Lake Saturday morning.  Organizer Jake Kopriva reported 45 paddlers registered for races in a variety of categories.  Family and friends supported competitors from the shore and water.  “The event exceeded my expectations,” said Kopriva.  “Despite the sub-par weather, everyone was in good spirits.  Everyone seems excited to do it again next year.” - Reporter photo by Chris Barragy.
