Thank you for stopping by to check out the 2009 Wild Hog Canoe & Kayak Race's 32nd year on April 25, 2009 with alternate date of May 2.

The Wild Hog Canoe & Kayak Race is hosted by AMVETS Post 88 in Bronson, Florida. We welcome anyone who would like to try their luck at paddling down the Waccasassa River over obstacles big and small for a chance to win some really nice prizes. Prizes will be drawn throughout the race at the finish line on U.S. 19, where the party starts with great food and music.

We hope to see some new faces this year and to visit with racers from past years. We are going to make this an even better event than our 31st, although that will be tough to beat!

Be sure to stop by now and then to check out the progress of this website as we move into 2009 for the Wild Hog Canoe & Kayak event. We are working on your suggestions from the 2008 race and have already made some changes and improvements.

Thank you to everyone who made our 2008 race a success! To see where you qualified in last year's race, check out Wild Hog 2008. Email me with any suggestions or comments at wildhograce@yahoo.com or maggimac43@yahoo.com.

AMVETS IN THE COMMUNITY

In 2008, AMVETS Post 88 was excited to give $6,750 to Betty Walker to offset their budget. This is our biggest charity event which helps our community. We also contribute supplies throughout the year to the Bronson Elementary School and have volunteered to help with the Bronson High Girls Soccer events. We have just opened up our new Post on S.R. 24 next to the Bronson Speedway on November 1, 2008. We will announce a grand opening date where the public and our brother posts will be invited. Look for an announcement in your local newspapers and on this website. Visit our post site at http://www.amvets88.wetpaint.com.
