Hi All!

School is back in session and so is canoe!  We are undertaking a few new endeavors this year as the madated hull design has been thrown out the window and we can pretty much design the canoe however we want.  A lot of the mix rules have been eased up on as well.  Grab your friends and come hang out with us on a Saturday to get some awesome hands on experience and make some new friends.  Any experience levels are welcome.  There is something for everyone!  Contact us at mnconcrete@gmail.com with any questions.

Results are in...sort of.  After a rather disorganized competion, we placed fourth, but actually third, and are awaiting the results of further appeals due to improper addition of scores and other judging issues.  We will keep you updated!  Please enjoy the pictures that Lev's wife took.  They are great!

The Creative Team, a.k.a. Dan, has graciously put together some mock-ups of our final theme choices. Please vote for one by posting a comment. Keep in mind you are voting on the overall theme for the canoe not the specific design; some elements of which are subject to change at the Creative Team's Discretion.

Competition packets have been sent and we are set to compete in Fargo, ND with races in Detroit Lakes, MN on April 29th and 30th.  If you want to come cheer on the team and see the races, send us an email at mnconcretecanoe@gmail.com and we will keep you updated on the race location and time. 

Fundraising is underway.  Thank you to all of our sponsors!  We appreciate your support.  Watch for new logos appearing on our " About Us" page and new links to sponsor websites in the links section. 

If you would like to contribute, please contact Lisa or Sam at mnconcretecanoe@gmail.com

Mix design meetings are well under way.  They have been occuring most Fridays.  Please check your emails or email mnconcretecanoe@gmail.com if you are interested in attending. 

We are off to an early start with our fundraising and will be assembling lofts in the dorms.  This is a great opportunity for the team to earn a lot of money.  Email mnconcretecanoe@gmail.com if you are interested helping out.

Hello everyone,

We finally have a working website.  It may not be ideal, but this site should be easy for us to customize and make as interactive as possible.  Feel free to sign the guestbook or leave comments! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.
