2011 Boater Chick of the Year

Congratulations to Mary Ann Grell for supporting all kayakers with dignity and respect. She is heavily involved in Chota Club. She has never met a stranger and is always willing to show people down new runs, offer her expert advice, and help out in rescue situations. Her kindness and cheerful demeanor are always a welcome site on any river. Mary Ann has done more for the boating community than many of us combined. She has also supported BCF since the very first year and continues to help put this festival together, gladly and with a smile. Thank you Mary Ann. We could think of no one more deserving of Boater Chick of the Year.
