Fourth of July Parade & Float Construction

Location TBD

Construction Dates and Times
TBD

Float Display: 9AM July 4th, 2023 on Northwest Blvd. near Giant Eagle

Waiting on one of you to generously offer to host the float build at his house. There will be plenty of work to keep dads and daughter's busy and entertained. Emails will be sent out with build dates and times, but generally the evenings for the week building up to the 4th. We always get rained out at least once! 

This event is fairly open ended and construction days at this point are TBD. However, all members are invited to walk with the Longhouse during the parade on the morning of July 4th.


Some asks for the chiefs during construction:
- Please plan to bring towels, bathing suits and a change of clothes for all swimmers. 
- One chief will need to volunteer each night to be either in the pool or ready to get in at a moment's notice if there's any kids in the pool.
- Any non-swimmers or those needing to use floatation devices (lifejackets or puddle jumpers, etc.) will require an adult to be in the water with them within arms reach.

 


  

2025 Summer Campout: NTR Canoe Livery

August 8-10, 2025

In Bolivar, OH on the mighty Tuscarawas River lies the site of our summer campout, the NTR Canoe Livery! Be advised, this is a primitive camping site, which means that there is no electricity provided, nor is there any running water available, other than from the river of course. We will have clean porta potties provided for us for the weekend. The highlight of the weekend is the canoe trip on Saturday afternoon, I assure you this run of river is a top notch canoe ride. The water should be cool and refreshing, and you'll be able to float for a good bit of the river if you choose to do so. Be advised, the livery is right next to I-77, you may need to get used to the Jake brakes getting pulled on occasion at night. This is a space constrained venue, so we will only accept registrations from the first 60 families that sign up. Register here:
