St. John River RiverFest and CRI day 2008


We had a great week with CRI Day and then the closing out RiverFest (and Canadian Rivers Day on sunday). We had an excellent turnout at CRI Day (about 75 people) and for this we need to thank Alexa Alexander and Lisa Bowron and their team of assistants for their hard work arranging the day. Rick Cunjak went on Rogers TV with the St. John River Society to answer “live” questions about the SJRiver and the CRI - he looks good on TV! Our performing kids (formerly known as the 'CRI' Babies) played 3 events in the music venues. On Saturday, Brian Savage and his team, Jeremy, Agni, Jessica, and Dea, entertained kids all day long with fishes and inverts from the SJRiver. We’ll get some picture up as soon as we can.
So, thanks to everyone for a great job representing the CRI in the community. We are already starting to plan for next year: Rick and Karen are in charge, Alexa/Lisa/Brian have the notes for volunteers. Let us know how you want to be involved.

Many thanks again,
Allen
Director, CRI
