3/1/08 - The Holly to Fenton Canoe Races are coming, Sunday May 18. Start your canoe or kayak paddling this year at the event on the Shiawassee River in Holly. The river will be cleared in advance by volunteers, return transportation is provided and our volunteers will do our best to provide you a terrific experience, whether you race in the morning or paddle in a leisurely fashion in the afternoon. The river twists and turns for seven miles from the start location in WaterWorks Park in Holly to the finish location at the west end of Fenton's Millpond. A limited number of canoe rentals will be provided by Heavner Canoes of Milford. Come out for more fun...locally! Click here for a registration form.

A tornado struck the Fenton-Holly area on August 24. It left a jumble of trees in the Shiawassee River. Thanks to the efforts of volunteers, we were be able to hold the "Canoeing in Color" on October 6. For more details see "What's New."
