*Hampton Inn & Home 2 Suites in Belmont are offering storage in their conference rooms for paddlers traveling w/ their crafts. Also, we gained access to the event venue, Gaston County Wildlife Club, on Friday evening and we've hired overnight security to keep watch on all equipment set out on site Friday evening. We know the pain and suffering that comes along with having your craft stolen when traveling for an event. So, it is our hope that we can help provide some peace in knowing that your belongings are safe and secure when enjoying the festivities planned for this weekend festival.
