However, in recent years, an increasing number of people weren���t paying the entrance fee, but were still participat- ing, thus putting a damper on the event. Earlier this year, the Pewaukee Kiwanis Club announced that the 2012 race would be the last.

And they are really used to it,��� Gallagher said. ���It���s a family thing.��� She said individuals and organizations all stepped forward expressing their concern about the end of the event. The RiverRun is the second biggest fundraiser for the Pewaukee Kiwanis Club, behind the Beach Party . The course will remain the same for 2013, but there will be added technology to help speed up the event. ���There will be positive changes and we encourage paid participation as this is a ���fundraiser��� and the money goes to charity to help change children���s lives,��� according to a press release. The event has also been moved back a couple of weeks from late April to May 11 in 2013. Gallagher also wanted to remind those interested in participating that there are canoe rentals available the day of the race. ��� Freeman Staff A sample of Wisconsin-made items at Albrecht���s Kohler Original Recipe Chocolates, Kohler.
