Grand River Kayak Race enjoys successful year 2

“This year we expanded the race to include two new divisions: youth and kayak open,” said Karen Chapel, a race organizer and owner of Lakeshore Kayak Rental in Grand Haven — the starting point of the race. “We received participation in both divisions.
