Lumberton sponsored a nice event on Saturday, September 22nd. It was the second annual Lumberton Paddle and Village Fair. Mike and I went with our nephew Michael and his girlfriend Crissy. We rented canoes for the very reasonal price of $15.00. The fee included a bus ride to Ironwood Outdoor Club where we put in our canoes. We paddled down the Rancocas Creek for about an hour, leaving the creek near the Florence L. Walther School. The highlight of the voyage was meeting a nice lady who was kayaking with her pit bull terrier, Cassius Clay. Cassius sat in the kayak patiently waiting until the end of the ride when he would be allowed to jump out and swim to shore - an hour of waiting for a 60 second swim. You're a good boy, Cassius.
After paddling, we had a look around the Lumberton Fire Company. They let us climb on the trucks, and Chrissy got to blast the horn. It's hard to beat that. We also spent some time at the Gaun Community Center. They have three rooms of antiques and memorabilia.
What a great day - beautiful weather, a little exercise, a walk back in time - all good clean fun.
