NEUSE RIVER DAYS May 31, 2008

The staff at the NRF is busy preparing for the best Neuse River Day ever!
On land at Union Point Park will be environmental exhibitors, live music, entertainers, arts and crafts vendors and lots of good food. On the water (and in) will be kayak, canoe and raft races. The Great Rubber Duck Race will be held that afternoon, along with the Cardboard Box Canoe Race.

Itching to get out on the River?
The Joy-Boy from Camp Seagull will be taking a trip on the Neuse every hour, courtesy of Arlington Place.
