After a successful first run in 2012, Benderdinker is expected to be bigger and better in 2013.

The Benderdinker, a two-hour noncompetitive kayak or canoe paddle on the Savannah River accompanied by a festival on land, is set for Saturday, April 27, starting at Betty’s Branch in Riverside Park in Evans at 10 a.m.

Organizers estimate between 300 and 400 paddlers participated in the inaugural event last year, but are expecting even more participants this year after a good push with online registration.

Predicted thunderstorms on Friday have caused local high school sports schedules to be altered.

The Lakeside girls and Evans boys, in the semifinals of the Region 2-AAAAA soccer tournament, will be traveling to Houston County on Thursday. Lakeside will play at 5:30 p.m. and Evans at 7 p.m.

Augusta Prep has also moved four home contests to Thursday, two of which hold state playoff implications.
