Description

Meet us Saturday August 27th at 1pm for paddling at Barton Cove. Upon our return we'll take a 15 minute drive upstream to the Brewery at 4 Star Farms in Northfield on the beautiful Connecticut river. There is also a lunch truck at 4 Star featuring gourmet food from Worcester’s famous “Dead Horse Hill” restaurant. There are a limited number of seats. This adventure is free to NEWIEE and AABE members, and you’re encouraged to bring someone who you think might want to join for free, and $20 for any lone non-members. Families welcome! We have canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards! Never paddle before? Don't worry! We've got you covered. There will be instructors on site to assist. Many of our members are experienced and can give you the support you need. **Should we have to cancel for river currents or weather conditions we will email communications as soon as possible.
