FLOAT & FORGE Legacy Wall

At Floatery in Madison, NC, every Dan River tubing adventure helps forge—to shape with passion and effort—the revival of Grogans Riverfront, a historic 1930s motel. This restoration is self-funded through our personal sacrifices, including our own funds and 401K loans, alongside the vital support of our cherished customers—no bank loans or grants. Our Float & Forge Legacy Wall in the motel’s changing room invites tubers to sign their names on Beautiful Antique windows, leaving a lasting mark on this journey. These signed windows will be preserved as unique, illuminated displays in the restored Grogans Riverfront, showcasing your contribution forever. Every penny from your booking fuels this labor of love. Add your signature to celebrate your float and help forge history!
