On July 14th, 37 HWs residents took to the water on the Contoocock River in Concord NH. This was the largest group ever to participate in the annual kayak outing hosted by the Putnam’s. For some, this was their first time ever kayaking.

The day began with everyone getting in to either their single or double kayak then paddling up river a few miles to Daisy Beach. Once there, many docked their kayaks, stretched their legs and socialized. There was a rope swing where some gave a fleeting thought to swinging and jumping into the water. Only one brave sole, Rick Newman, entertained the group with a jump that was rated a 10 from the audience! (see pic below).

Then the group paddled back to the launch area where all were treated to a fabulous BBQ lunch catered by Smokeshow BBQ of Concord. The groups sat around in a circle and shared experiences with each other. Based upon the smiles in the pictures, it is safe to say that everyone came away with some great memories.

Thanks to all who joined in on the event. Events like this prove the HWs IS THE BEST COMMUNITY!

The Putnam’s sure have to work hard next year to beat this year’s event!
