The start. Hordes of people will be gathering for the big river run on the Pollett River;put in is in Elgin, N.B. , April 25,2015. As always, the Pollett River Run is the last Saturday of April. This year the last Saturday of April happens to be on April 25,2015. That is next week and there is still a pile of snow on the banks to melt. In addition to the spring run off, the forecast is melting temperatures and rain. I am expecting the ride to be very fast, deep and wild.
Breakfast Is Served.
We usually stop at the Elgin Firehall for a great breakfast. The firemen put this on to raise money for their hall. After breakfast we head a km or so to the put in where people drag to the river, their canoes and homemade rafts made from just about every material known to man. Beer is opened, yahoos are heard,
1. Canoe or raft complete with boat pole or paddle.
2. It is an all day event so bring some snacks.
3. Life jacket could saves your life.
4. Lost of people get wet so bring extra clothes. Dry bags full of warm dry clothes tied to your boat saves the day. The weather is usually about 10 degrees which is very cold when you get wet.
Have fun and play safe.

Man I do not see how they are going to have the run on this coming Saturday. Guess we should wait and see and then make a choice if you want to risk it or not.
