Neuse River Day May 31, 2008
On land at Union Point Park will be environmental exhibitors, live music, entertainers, arts and crafts vendors and lots of good food. On the water (and in) will be kayak, canoe and raft races. The Great Rubber Duck Race will be held that afternoon, along with the Cardboard Box Canoe Race.
