National Paddling Film Fest Feb. 17-18 in Frankfort

-

- Advertisment -

It’s time to get your cinematic paddling juices flowing again, while benefiting American Whitewater, at the 35th annual National Paddling Film Festival, to be held on Feb. 17-18, in Frankfort, KY, at the Buffalo Trace Distillery.

For 35 years the National Paddling Film Festival has been hosting a competition to determine the best in paddlesport videos and images. This year’s NPFF will be held on February 17-18 in Frankfort, KY at the Buffalo Trace Distillery. Tickets are $20 online or $25 at the door.

This competition has provided the paddling community with a fun and profitable event to support American Whitewater and river stewardship. In that time, the NPFF has also helped to raise the quality of paddle sport entertainment by providing recognition of talent along with important and useful feedback for the artists who make the show a possibility.

Included, as always, in this year’s festivities will be sponsor booths, a silent auction, parties, Chili Cookoff (Meat, Veggie, and Most Unusual categories, plus Chili King/Queen crowning), and the annual Not-NPFF Race-The Jess Cup. The annual Not-NPFF Downriver Race and Club Championship will be held Saturday on Elkhorn Creek. Race begins at noon and check-in is at Elkhorn /AW Acres. You don’t have to compete to go down river – but dress warmly. The Not-NPFF race is not associated with NPFF, and no liability is assumed by NPFF or its volunteers. Hence, the Not-NPFF name. Ffood vendors will also be selling food each night.
