Members of the rowing team prepare for Saturday’s boat house grand opening. The boathouse is located in downtown Wichita.
Calvin Cupp has spent nights with his rowing team sleeping in warehouses, fire stations, and on gym floors.
“We had a portajohn in a parking lot in a trailer,” Cupp said.
But after a decade of working with the city, donors, and other sponsors, the team now has a permanent home.
Cupp and his rowers unveiled the boathouse Saturday afternoon to a crowd of 100 people.
“This is going to be a hub of outdoor and fitness activity,” Cupp said.
