Racoons just ate every- thing on the boat in the place where it was stored. The boat got completely restored," said Lucas. Second place finisher was 'Warpath', a 26' from Manotick and Frowildo, a boat from Rideau Ferry which had been in the same Smiths Falls area family since 1932. Captain's Choice award went to "Winona" while the People's Choice award was given to 'Thumper'. Harbourmaster Kevin Kardash had all three of his staff on deck on Satur- day and was pleased with the event which helped to create one of the harbour's busiest days ever. The barbecue to benefit the harbour sold out after having a steady stream of customers. Friends of the Rideau volunteer Ken Watson was equally as enthusiastic about the reception their booth got at the event. The group promotes an appreciation for the histo- ry of the canal and oper- ates an information stop and shop at Merrickville. "The crowds came out. We saw a lot of cottagers and people interested in the Rideau. We had a good location. We like talking to people. People ask all sorts of different ques- tions," said Watson. Busy day at Westport Harbour Lloyd Wilson and Bob Burtch provided some musical entertainment at Jones Falls last Saturday's as part of the Hotel Kenney's 140th anniversary celebrations.
