OAR 2005 Events

OAR is finalizing the 2005 calendar of events.

You can look forward to photography at our spring meeting, paddles and other events on the river, informative sessions regarding our river's health, our annual river cleanup, and walks along the river as autumn colors dance on the water's surface. We hope that you can join us.

In the meantime (or if you are new to OAR) check out some of our past OAR events below...

We counted over 50 kayaks, canoes, and rowboats in the sunset flotilla from the Old Manse to the Calf Pasture in the annual River Solstice - celebrating the longest day of the year on the river.

A sunset picnic, drumming, and dancing made for a festive evening for young and old alike.

Over 20 people in 12 kayaks and canoes participated in this year's Assabet RiverQuest - the event sponsored by OAR as part of the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord Wild and Scenic RiverFest.

Paddlers started at Damon Mill and searched for answers to riddles along the river as they made their way down to Egg Rock.

OAR members and staff marched in the Musketaquid Earth Day Giant Puppets Parade on May 1.  OAR 's parade troup sported a small canoe float and our members marched with giant fantasy fish hats.

As part of the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord Wild and Scenic RiverFest, OAR again sponsored a “RiverQuest.” Paddlers put in at Damonmill on Route 62 in West Concord, where they received the first of several clues that celebrate the attributes of a wild and scenic river - water quality and outstanding fish, wildlife, ecological, scenic, and heritage values- leading to a prize.
