2011 Jr. Texas Water Safari

We had 40 teams (70 participants) enter and finish this year.  We had cash prizes from a pot that totaled $845 distributed through a drawing.  We also had a second drawing with the volunteers names in the pot for gift cards to various restaurants. 

Trophies were made from a railroad iron rail that was removed from underneath the Martindale low water crossing.  Thanks to Fred Mynar, John Maika, John Baltzell, Erin Magee, and Jerry Cochran for their efforts in getting it out.  Martindale locals claimed that it was from the old 1920’s bridge.   It had scraped many canoes over the years.
