NORWAY BAY July 22, 2017
The Norway Bay beach saw a flock of eager young canoers Saturday morning, as the waterfront played host to races and an opportunity to learn about water safety.
Hosted by the Norway Bay Municipal Association (NBMA), their fifth annual canoe and kayak regatta welcomed children and teenagers from all over the Pontiac out onto the water for some friendly competition.
Peter Niedre, director of the canoe and kayak program for the NBMA, said the event is a great chance for kids from all over the area, not just Norway Bay, to race, swim and paddle with a large group, all the while having lots of excitement.
