Canal Day 2010
Every year, the last Sunday in June, the Schuylkill Canal Association (SCA), based in Montgomery County's Mont Clare, hold's Canal Day - a day to honor and enjoy the Schuylkill Canal with music, tours and games.
The highlight of the day is the National Canal Joust Championship - where opponents face off with Q-tip-like jousts along a one-foot board over the Canal.
Unfortunately for you, reader, Canal Day was June 27. However, keep it in mind next year.
This was their 28th Canal Day - which featured music by local bands and tours of the Locktenders House. Throughout the day, the SCA also opens Lock 60 - the actual canal.
There are also kayak and canoe demos as well as a used kayak and stuff sale.
New this year, SCA set up a flea market and business expo at St. Micahel's Picnic Ground in Mont Clare.
Each year, the Mont Clare Fire Company, if not pre-occupied with firemen duties, do a demo and water spray.

There's lots and lots to do along the Schuylkill River - including the Schuylkill River Trail, which follows along the Schuylkill River from Schuylkill County to Berks County.
