The "Spirit of the River" event returned to Givhan's Ferry State Park on Saturday, August 13th. FRED was happy to work with the South Carolina Paddlesports Industry Association to bring back this opportunity to share the beautiful Edisto with paddlers, tubers, swimmers, and river lovers of all descriptions.
