WAITSFIELD, Vt. The Northern Forest Canoe Trail is bringing the Reel Paddling Film Festival’s World Tour 2012 to Waitsfield on May 5th at 7pm. The film festival showcases the best paddling films from around the world. Proceeds from the event support the Northern Forest Canoe Trail.
The Reel Paddling Film Festival features award winning films in 10 categories. The Festival, in its sixth year, inspires people to explore rivers, lakes and oceans, push physical and emotional extremes, embrace the lifestyle and appreciate the heritage of the wild places around the world. The Festival can be seen in over 100 cities worldwide.
Northern Forest Canoe Trail is based in Waitsfield and hopes to tap the power of the films to bring attention to recreational paddling along the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, which is the nation’s longest inland water trail stretching from Old Forge, New York to Fort Kent Maine.
The show starts at 7:00 pm at the Big Picture Theater. Come early for a beer and a bite, stay late for the Phineas Gage Project, the official band of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. All proceeds benefit Northern Forest Canoe Trail.
