Participants can expect giveaways, free lunch and a day of fun. For those who have their own kayak, they can bring in and enjoy an afternoon of smooth sailing on the river. You know, it's pretty straightforward. This is the Pikeville River Trail. We're starting at the main beginning of it, which is the Indian Hills behind Jubilee Church. We're going to be meeting at 10am sharp, 10am sharp that morning because we've got a pretty strict timeline. It's about a four and a half to five hour float when we count lunch included into that. So we'll be meeting at 10. We will be having some raffles, some gift cards and stuff like that. Everybody signs up or when they get there, they'll register. They'll get a ticket for those raffles and we'll do a quick safety briefing and we're going to be hitting the river sharp at 10.30. So we need everybody there that's been registered to come. We need them there at 10 o'clock and then we're going to be hitting the river at 10.30. That way we can, you know, our timeline works out with meeting up for lunch and then getting on down to the end of the river trail so we have time to get all the kayaks and stuff out and loaded.

Conservation officers, their primary goal here is going to be, you know, for one, some community engagement and two, to kind of help spread the word on how to, you know, navigate this river in a safe manner, as well as, you know, we're going to be answering questions that could be fishing related questions could be, you know, like ecology type questions. There'll be a diverse group of people there to answer this type of stuff. So if anybody's interested in that, we would love to have you. You know, we're going to be discussing a lot of water safety, water regulations. The conservation officers will be talking about, you know, all the fishing regulations and rules and just how to stay safe on the river. You know, moving water like that, it comes with its share of dangers, of course. And, you know, we're wanting to put a big emphasis on water safety for this event. You know, we want people to utilize the river, but want people to do it safely. Reporting from out on top news. I'm Nick Colum.
