Paddlefest 2014 Success In The Rain

It was a bit cold and rainy on the water this weekend -- but that didn't stop very many from getting in a kayak.

Paddlefest 2014 Kayaking and Activities Co-ordinator Alex Reid tells Tide News the Town of St. Andrews was still a busy spot. He says they had a big turn-out and everyone seemed to be enjoying their time in St. Andrews.

The kayaks weren't the only thing to bring people to the seaside town. Reid says, "The music. Luke MacDonald has put together a fantastic line up and there are people coming from all ends of eastern Canada to see his production."

Reid says his favorite part of the festival is the people. "Everybody is here with a big, happy smile on their face and ready for summer to start, so that's always good to see."







One sea kayak tour was cancelled due to high wind conditions on Saturday -- but they were still able to have multiple tours during the festival.
