SUMMARY:Meet & Greet the NRX26 Crew in Narrows\, VA
DESCRIPTION:Want to meet the crew before they leave Virginia.  The NRX26 will have a “Meet & Greet” at the Narrows\, VA 4th of July festivities on July 4 in the Town Park along Wolf Creek. Stop by their booth in the afternoon and learn more about the journey\, where the crew camps\, and how the expansion of the New River Water Trail can benefit the region.\n\nThere is a $5 admission to the Town Park for the 75th Narrows Homecoming Festival.\n\nThis summer\, the New River Conservancy (NRC) hopes to draw attention to a broader story of connectedness of New River watershed residents through the New River Expedition 2026. (NRX26) Beginning in Todd\, North Carolina on June 2\, and traveling all the way to the confluence of the Gauley River in Gauley Bridge\, West Virginia\, the NRX26 is on its way to paddling a 320 mile adventure throughout the entire New River watershed.\n\nThe NRX26 crew is discovering and experiencing the watershed in a way few get to do. “We want people to experience the expedition vicariously because they are going places that many\, many people don’t get to see\,” NRC Communications and Marketing Director\, Lisa Stansell – Galitz said.
