National Paddling Film Festival 2012
Buffalow Trace Distillery (map)
This is a great time to hang out with paddlers from all over the area, free beer, free food, paddling movies, door prizes, and paddling gear for sale.

For 30 years the National Paddling Film Festival has been hosting a competition to determine the best in paddle sport videos and images. This competition has provided the paddling community with a fun and profitable event to support American Whitewater and river conservation. In that time, the NPFF has also helped to raise the quality of paddle sport entertainment by providing recognition of talent along with important and useful feedback for the artists who make the show a possibility.
Tickets are $25 at the door, and most of that money goes to organizations supporting the paddlesports.
