The mayor of Defiance, Mike McCann, and an Upper Maumee Watershed Partnership Board member, Rex Oskey took turns driving the boat and chatting with riders about local history, water quality and plans for the future. In addition, we had kayaks available for people to try a little human powered boating. Overall, it was a great event with music, food, art, farmer’s market, and activities for the kids. Look for a similar event in 2017 to celebrate the River!
