[1]Though smaller this year, Riverfest still managed to produce several great events, including Saturday’s Riverfest Cardboard Boat Regatta.
“Traditionally, the Riverfest Regatta is a great opportunity for teams to build a boat and challenge others to a showdown on the water,” Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts said. “This is a fun, and sometimes wet, way to build a sense of camaraderie and community.”
The event is open to all ages and makes a great opportunity for STEM classes, team building amongst coworkers, a creative outlet for a group of friends, or a family looking for some competition.
Pre-registration at www.ClarksvilleParksRec.com [2] is required by September 10th. Complete registration information and Regatta rules are at https://bit.ly/3CAxwEu [3]
