Paddle board festival set at First Lake

Beaver Creek Reservoir will be the site for the first local two-day stand up paddle board festival, an event its coordinators hope will become a recurring one.

SUPfest will happen Saturday and Sunday, June 24 and 25, at the Community Effort Pavilion at the reservoir about 8 miles south of Havre.

The cost for both days is $20 and that gets people drinks provided by Gary & Leo’s Fresh Foods and food from Nalivka’s, as well as use of paddle boards, paddles and life vests for those who don’t have them. That price tag also includes the opportunity to camp out overnight
