- With the success of
the 25th Annual NPFF at Buffalo Trace last February, we feel that
we’ve definitely found a new home. - - - Buffalo Trace turned out to be a perfect
setting for the event, with over 5,000 square feet available to us inside,
including a full-sized bar and a large viewing area upstairs, a large dining
area downstairs, and a full wraparound covered porch. -
- Films and Still Images
are being received now, and it’s lining up to be another great event. - Go to http://www.npff.org/ - www.npff.org
and click on “Entry” for more details.
You’ve still got time!
Our Silent Auction
will be returning with boats, gear, and lots of other great swag to bid on.
The Bluegrass Brewing
Company will again be providing beverages for the weekend, and we will be
hosting a Chili Cook-Off Competition and potluck, so please bring your favorite
recipe to share with your fellow paddlers.
Local outfitter Canoe
Kentucky will be sponsoring a Paddle Day on Saturday on whatever local stream
may be running; there will also be a Bourbon Tasting Saturday afternoon for
those of you who may not want to paddle that day. Local paddler Dan Atkins will be returning as
our live music act that day with his new project, a roots-music trio. There are also distillery tours Saturday
morning for those interested.
Friday and Saturday
nights will again see after-parties at the Brick Alley in downtown Frankfort, with musical
acts to be announced.
The Downtown Frankfort Tourism Board will again be providing
goodie bags for attendees, including discounts to the local downtown
merchants. There are several good
restaurants, along with some great shops showcasing local and international
arts and crafts. Friday
and Saturday nights will again see after-parties at the Brick Alley in downtown
Frankfort, with
musical acts to be announced.
We are currently working on our Guest Host for this year’s
Festival, as well as lining up hotel accommodations and shuttle service for
Attendees.
