Happenings in River Country

March 2010

Like most of the state, we are experiencing balmy weather for the month of March. It would be naïve to think that this spring like weather is here to stay but we’ll enjoy every day that we can. Old man winter could still have some surprises in store and putting the snow shovel and boots away might be a bit premature. In the meantime, folks are taking an opportunity to get out on the rivers to get in some kayaking, canoing and fly fishing where permitted. Ice shanties are disappearing from the lakes and the snow is slowly melting away. It’s a great time to get out and enjoy some fresh air and the warmth of a sunny day!

Upcoming Events
