The Cornwall Recreational Whitewater Club

Despite the Montreal Canadian first game of the NHL Playoffs, Jack’s Pub in Williamstown had a good turnout for the showing of the Green River Race and Night Of The Living Donkey.

On Thursday, April 10th, I got my family together, picked up a selection of Jackson kayaks and headed out to Jack’s Pub (a whole half mile from the house…) with our evening movie selection : The Green River Race and Night Of The Living Donkey.

After setting up and a few stressful moments wondering if the NHL series was going to kill us, our guests started rolling in. By 7:30 we had enough folks in the door (CReW Club members, a few came from the Valleyfield Area, and a few curious locals).

Drinks were ordered, a few meals as well and the Green River Race began.

The movie is excellent. The images are beautiful and the paddling is intense. The paddlers in the group appreciated the technical difficulty and the non paddlers were just in awe!

After a brief intermission and some minor tech glitches the second movie was run. Night Of The Living Donkey has an appeal to the young people in the crowd! We lost the older viewers and non-paddlers but the rest of them enjoyed the selection of play moves and big drops that were shown as well as the fun between paddlers. Heck, even Hee Haw Jones made his impact!

Everyone had a good time and the only question left is when do we do it again. The answer? Sit tight there is more to come.

See you all out on the river and at the next World Kayak Movie Premier in the Seaway Valley Region.
