This year represents an extra special one for us. We feel so blessed as we look back on 2013 and remember all of the things we have to be thankful for. A wonderful wedding brought together our family and friends this fall on the banks of the McKenzie River as we welcomed Kidd Youren as the newest member of the Helfrich family. Kidd is a wonderful addition to our family and river crew; with his sense of humor he fits right in. We are very excited to be celebrating a special milestone this next year as we recognize the 100 year anniversary of the Helfrich Family on the McKenzie River. As we sit back and reflect on our good fortune, we are so thankful for our hard working crew whose dedication and passion are the heart and sole of this company. All of our hard work is rewarded by the unique opportunity to share such amazing rivers with people who truly enjoy and appreciate them. If it wasn’t for you, we couldn’t do what we do. We are so thankful to have three generations (Dave, Ken & Kelsey) working together on the  river. Few families get to experience having multiple generations working together as a team and enjoying a shared love of such special places. The deep connection developed by our time on the river is something we will forever treasure. The hard working men and women of our river crew couldn’t do such a great job on the river without the behind-the-scenes work of our “Den Mother” Sherill Helfrich. Sherill is the voice on the phone when you call and she works hard to keep everyone organized and prepared for their upcoming trip. Her endless love and support of our company and crew makes everything flow; We couldn’t do it without her. Our family is so blessed with the opportunity to share your family vacations with you. Thank you for making us feel like a part of your family. |
