Our top three fundraising teams as of the evening August 5th were: 1. Dream Weavers ($10,615), 2. Vermont Ribbon Rowers ($10,428), and 3. Pull Together ($7,125).
After the Flower Ceremony finished, they loaded up the boats for a “celebratory paddle” around the cove to the applause of our spectators, participants and members. .
