If you missed the Passaic River Paddle Relay yesterday, here's a chance to get ready for next year - or just have some fun.

You can take a canoeing lesson at the Essex County Environmental Center next Saturday, May 15 at 9:30 a.m.

The class in paddling safety and techniques is for beginners and children (ages 10 and up accompanied by a parent or guardian).

The cost is $15 per person or $30 per canoe. You need to register in advance - call 973-228-8776.
