Each year, in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, they hold the Wabash Riverfest on the banks of the Wabash River. There's Voyageur Canoe Races. A grudge match between the cities of Lafayette and West Lafayette. And so much more

Ilana was thrilled that, as a county official, from the inside, that she could participate in the canoe races. She could paddle. Actually there's not too much competition. And, um, the other county dropped out. It's still good, they got somebody else to be in the other boat. She knows what end of the paddle to put in the water, she knows how to sit in the canoe, she even knows how to steer a canoe. Actually, she led scouting canoe trips in the Border Lakes before college.
