Super soaked
Perhaps the Animas River's flow was particularly low this year, but that doesn't mean stoke wasn't high. The 35th anniversary of Animas River Days still caused a splash for both spectators and participants with slalom races, freestyle and surf comps, boatercross, inflatable rodeo, and the grand finale, the parade and viewing party at Santa Rita Park. Parade participants didn't hold back this year with plenty of off-kilter floating contraptions, colorful pool toys and costumes (or lack thereof). If none of those were an option for the timid, super soakers were the other favorite accessory, ensuring that even though the river was low, no one would leave dry.
