Founder's Day Weekend
The Fort La Présentation Association will hold its eighth-annual Founder's Day Weekend July 19 & 20, 2008. The event at historic Lighthouse Point in downtown Ogdensburg is on the banks of the St. Lawrence River at the original Fort site.
Founder’s Day Weekend is a French and Indian War re-enactment and colonial trade fair and is by invitation only. Preference will be given to individuals or groups that have attended Founder’s Day Weekend in previous years and accurately depict mid-18th century French and British military and civilian life, and Native society. Sutlers and historic trades are integral to the event, too.

BATEAU RACE
A bateau race was inaugurated in 2006. This
race was won by the General Arnold under Scott Padini and
crew. Their names have been engraved on a trophy that will remain
the property of the Association. The race is open to contenders in
2008.
