BENEFITING

- All participants must register here prior to the Santa Paddle. All registration fees directly benefit FoWCAC!

- All registration options include a commemorative Santa hat and cookies after the paddle.
- All participants must wear a Santa suit or all red clothing. You'll receive your commemorative Santa hat onsite.

- At 2:00, we'll begin the Santa Strut around the lake. You're welcome to bring your pup for this part - just be sure you have a plan for them once it's time to hit the water. We'll complete one lap around the lake.
- After the Strut, all paddlers will board their watercraft and begin the paddle to the jingling tune of fun Santa songs. Paddle away, and be courteous to fellow paddlers. Have fun!
- After a short paddle, we'll ring in the Santas for a well-earned cookie break. Enjoy the rest of the festival!
