The doors to the Steinhatchee Community Center opened at 12:00 noon to kick off the official start of the event. That's when and where all of those who registered earlier in the year needed to go to pick up their registration packet which included their individual itineraries of each paddle they signed up for over the course of the weekend. They had until 4:00 p.m. to do so. There was no time to waste, either, because many of the attendees had a 2:00 paddle they had registered for and so registration and check-in to the hotel all had to be done within a two hour window.
The sign-in process went smoothly and everyone received a personalized folder that included an itinerary for each guided paddle they had signed up for and when & where it took place, a few marketing trinkets (whistle, sunglass bands, tokens for free drinks, etc) and lots of local marketing paperwork.
Good Times Motel & Marina was the official host facility for the Hidden Coast Paddle Festival. This was the hub where everyone met before disbursing again.
