Due to the dangerous river conditions caused by last night's torrential rain, the Pride Paddles event previously scheduled for today is being rescheduled to Saturday, July 19th at 10:00 a.m.

Pride Paddles Update! 🚣🌈
Hey Pride fam—Mother Nature threw us a soggy curveball last night, and due to safety concerns, we have chosen to postpone the event. So we’re moving our Pride Paddles event to Saturday, July 19th at 10:00 AM!

Why the shift? • High‐water concerns mean we want everyone safe and smiling. • This gives us extra time to prep an even bigger splash of Pride magic!

A huge shout-out to Ocmulgee Outdoor Expeditions (OOE) for rolling with the tide. They’re offering: • Full refunds if you can’t make the new date • Credits toward any future OOE kayaking adventure

Just drop OOE a line and they’ll sort you right out!

Mark your calendars, shine those paddles, and get ready for an unforgettable day on the water. See you July 19th for the most colorful cruise the river’s ever seen! 🌊🏳️‍🌈✨
