Tickets go on sale today for Saturday's "Tip-A-Canoe" day on the Brandywine, with performance by Hoots and Hellmouth.

Date: Saturday June 16, noon to 11pm.

This event benefits the Brandywine Conservancy, and is put on every year by the Young Friends of the Brandywine, which is an off-shoot of the Brandywine Conservancy.  From their social networking page:
"Tip-A-Canoe and Barbecue, too!, first held in 1999, has grown into the must-attend event of the summer. Attendees come from all over the country and Young Friends plan their vacations around the July weekend when hundreds take to the Brandywine River for a leisurely afternoon canoeing from West Chester to Chadds Ford. The day cumulates with an exuberant evening of barbecue, live music and dancing.

Tip-A-Canoe and Barbecue, too!, spotlights the Conservancy’s integral relationship with the Brandywine River. It is a family-friendly event for all ages. Back again this year will be the rambunctious energy of the popular band, Hoots and Hellmouth.

The funds raised from this event benefit the Brandywine Conservancy allowing us to continue to conserve the natural and cultural resources of the Brandywine River watershed. We invite you to join us".
UPDATE:  Tickets range from $55 - $90 depending on if you're a member or non-member, and depending on whether you want to participate in the canoeing or just in the BBQ/ Hoots concert.  here's the link for tickets:  http://brandywinemuseumshop.org/BrowsePage.aspx?searchtype=navitem&navitemid=1000056
