Our final count was 223 participants. We were able to donate $1500 from the proceeds of the event to the Regional Intervention Program toward assisting families with their pre-school children with behavior and development issues. For more info on this worthwhile charity, see www.ripnetwork.org

The new canoe put-in received big applause. The rope across the river worked out well allowing for a “competitive” group start. The canoes piled up at the finish so we expect to cap this race at 250.

A big thanks goes out to the 35 Columbia Cycling Club members who worked hard to make this happen. This race was also assisted by about 5 Maury County Civil Defense personnel, 8 Jail Trustees, 15 RIP employees/directors, 15 canoe rental employees, 8 Boy Scouts, 8 young men from the Tennessee Children’s Home, and 5 members of the Maury Amateur Radio Club.

I would like to recognize others who donated toward this event in other ways:

• Doug Shapiro for developing and getting the donations and work needed for the canoe put-in
• Allen Presnell with Columbia Rock Products for the donation of rock toward the put-in
• Rick Grief, an Ironman from Huntsville, for designing the Jailbreak logo
• Extension Staffing (Patrick Wigley) of Nashville for donating two vans
• YMCA of Columbia for donating two vans, a bullhorn, and the use of their shower facilities for the mud covered participants
• Piggly Wiggly (Jody Shaw) of Columbia for discounting some food items for us
• Bi-Lo, Kroger and Pepsi for donating food and drinks
• ABBA Graphics of Hohenwald for donating the brochures
• Donna Heninger for the T-shirt layout
• Fleet Feet of Brentwood for donating two $25 gift certificates

We received several nice comments, here are some of them…
