The Olympic legacy has thrived in Gainesville, much more so than many other places in Georgia.
Connie Hagler of the Lanier Canoe & Kayak Club points to the success of her group and the Lake Lanier Rowing Club as keys to that legacy, "People value what it does for their children and I think that's why it continues to happen."
Saturday's activities begin at 8 a.m. with the Georgia Games rowing competition, followed by a reunion of those who participated in the Lanier events and a venue open house, and Dragon Boat races and the Lanier Cup races featuring teams from the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
