The Park Rapids Wavemakers did a tremendous job competing in the Lake Superior Dragon Boat Festival – coming in at 6th place!  We're so proud of this incredible team! 

Year end party for current / past / and future paddlers and friends is coming up on September 14 – details to be announced!

It's almost time to 'pass the gavel' and to celebrate and recognize some of our Community Members who do wonderful things for our area.  Please join in the Club social and community awards dinner --- and we will applaud the current 'administration' and encourage our new incoming president and officers for the 2025-2026 year.  This is a great event to bring a guest/spouse/friend.  Please register.
 
 
As we are heading into spring/summer - it's time for the annual Fireworks Fundraising activity to begin!  This year we are integrating the FUN into fundraising!  There are many opportunities to help out our community through your participation, contributions (of time and dollars) and promotion!
