Editor’s note: This column was originally submitted in May, shortly after Paddle for the Border celebrated its 20th anniversary on the Dismal Swamp Canal.
As I write this, we have just recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of Paddle for the Border. Therefore, it is with great pride and appreciation in recognizing that it is still a very successful event today.

Their partnership and dedication is responsible for causing this event to still be what it is today…
