Howling Wolfe Canoe and Kayak ran a trip from North Aurora to Aurora and all the proceeds were donated to Friends of the Fox. The paddlers, Gary Swick, president of Friends of the Fox, Jenn Barrer, Ingrid Fay, Derrick Durr, Emily Beau, Jake Wolfe, owner of Howling Wolfe Canoe & Kayak, Joe Wolfe, and Sue Wolfe, joined Charlie Zine and Greg Taylor for a Kayak Beach renovation by removing plants whose seeds were deposited during the spring floods, and then grew, covering the beach. The Fox Valley Park District helped by having a crew pick up the huge piles of weeds the next day! They later brought in truck loads of clean sand to spread over the beach (See below).
