Oswego, N.Y. -The Oswego Paddlefest scheduled for Saturday has been cancelled.
The Oswego River Canal has been closed to all boats as a safety measure due to high water levels and swift current from recent heavy rainfall and that's the reason for the cancellation of the Paddlefest.
More than 350 paddlers had registered for the event.
The Paddles Fest organizing committee will discuss re-scheduling the event for another date this summer.
