I've found a reason to fix my fiberglass delam problem! Maumee State Park is about 20 miles from my home. I wasn't sure if anyone else in the area would be interested...

Gander Mountain Company, the nation's largest retail network of stores
for hunting, fishing, camping, boating, marine, and outdoor lifestyle
products and services, is introducing northwest Ohio to a new canoeing
and kayaking event series known as Paddle Quest.

The event series begins at 10 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 13 at Maumee Bay
State Park.

The new statewide Paddle Quest series began in May at Shawnee State Park
near Portsmouth in Scioto County and is traveling to nine state parks
this season in partnership with Ohio State Parks and the Ohio Division
of Watercraft.
"We hope to raise public awareness of the excellent opportunities to
enjoy the great outdoors right here in northwest Ohio and across the
state," said Joe Hardin, district manager of Gander Mountain's Ohio
stores. "Paddling is fun, great exercise, and something that can be done
inexpensively and close to home."
In addition to enjoying a day on the water at Maumee Bay, event
participants also will enjoy a cook out style lunch, door prizes, and a
chance to win a matching pair of kayaks at the end of the Paddle Quest
2008 series, which concludes Sept. 20 at Salt Fork Lake State Park near
Cambridge in Guernsey County, all courtesy of Gander Mountain.
"We're really excited to partner with Gander Mountain on this event,"
said Arley Owens, special programs manager for Ohio Stare Parks. "It's a
great chance for the whole family to get acquainted with canoeing or
just to get out with other outdoor enthusiasts and enjoy our great state
parks."
No experience is required to participate in these free events, and they
are open to all ages. Participants under age 19 must be accompanied by
an adult.
All Paddle Quest participants, regardless of age, are required to wear
approved life jackets during the event. Canoes, kayaks, paddles and life
jackets are not provided, so participants must bring their own equipment
Rental boats and safety equipment may be available at some state parks.
Pre-registration and event day registration is required for Gander
Mountain prize eligibility.
