WAITSFIELD, Vt. The Northern Forest Canoe Trail (NFCT) is co-hosting Rapid Media’s Reel 
Paddling Film Festival World Tour 2013 on Thursday, April 18 with the New Hampshire Fish & Game Department at the Red River Theatres on South Main Street in Concord. The film festival showcases the best paddling films from around the world. Proceeds from this event support the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. This showing is one of nine screenings of the film festival that NFCT is hosting throughout New York and New England.
This year, Lincoln Canoe & Kayak, maker of handcrafted 
canoes and kayaks in Freeport, Maine and a famous boat builder in New England, is partnering with NFCT to raffle a light-weight and versatile 2013 Chebeague kayak to be prized at the conclusion of this series of nine screenings. All attendees at the show will have an opportunity to enter a free raffle to win the boat.
