This year's water activities will
center on Aug. 4-5 canoe races, and
a number of other canoe trips and
classes are planned throughout the
festival, spokeswoman Kathleen
Liekus said.
The Aug. 4 canoe contest will let
ath]etss test their skills on whitewa-
ter rapids, while the Aug. 5 event
will challenge their strength and
endurance on flat water, Liekus said.
For those who prefer to restrict
their athletic pursuits to solid
ground, the festival will include a
distance run and softball and golf
tournaments, Liekus said.
People interested in participat-
ing in any of the tournaments or
races should contact Liekus at 304/
466-0194. This year's theme, "The
Gay 90s Again,~ will focus attention
on an era that was important in
Hinton's development.
Most of the homes in Hinton,
which is recognized as a National
Historic District, were constructed
during a major building boom at the
turn of the 19th century.
That boom came when the Che-
