    On behalf of the Lehigh Valley Tubing Alliance (LVTA), I would like to give many thanks to those of you who worked so hard to make this fantastic event possible. This was the first year we heard about the event, but can guarantee it won't be our only appearance. Thanks so much again, we all had such a good time tubing for the cause. Can't wait 'til next year!

    I hate to sound like a debbie downer - but are there any vegetarian options offered for the lunch? If not, are there other alternatives or should I bring a floating cooler :-p
