Annual Canoe River Rally Benefit &

BBQ









Smithtown
Historical Society & Friends of Caleb
Smith Preserve host for their annual Canoe River Rally Benefit Trip & BBQ.  This is the second year the two groups have
joined up to host the event that is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June
8th.  The adventure begins with a
leisurely morning paddle in a canoe or kayak along the beautiful Nissequogue
River starting from Nissequogue River State Park. Upon meeting the shore at
Paul T. Givens County Park, participants are bussed back to the launch site for
an all you can eat barbecue catered by Main Street Meats, complete with live
music by Norman Vincent and raffle prizes. The tax deductible donation per
canoe is $125 which includes the BBQ for all in the canoe. Canoes seat either
two (2) adults AND two (2) children) OR three (3) adults. Double & Single
Kayaks are also available. If you prefer to bring your own boat, or simply want
join in for the barbecue only, that’s ok too! 
Whether you float in or walk in, the cost to attend the barbecue only is
$35 per person. All River Rally and BBQ participants must be registered by Wednesday June 5th. Children age 12 under get a free commemorative
t-shirt. All Children must be accompanied by

an adult. Check-in begins at 9am at Nissequogue River State Park for a 10am
launch. The barbecue begins at noon. Registration forms are available here for download & on the Friends of Caleb Smith Preserve website (www.friendsofcalebsmith.org ). To
