Paddles, Potluck, and Gear Swap
September 20, 2025
11am-2pm
It's time to celebrate another fine season of paddling with OOPS! Meet us at the Main Shelter at Willamette Park in West Linn.
We'll start the day with a series of morning paddles, starting and ending at Willamette Park (separate listings and sign ups will be posted on the OOPS calendar).
OOPS will be providing and grilling salmon to go with your potluck contribution.
But wait, there's more! Bring your unused/underused gear to sell or swap.
Registration is FREE but it closes Wednesday, September 17th in order to buy enough salmon and drinks.
