\"Clarksville's<\/a>Clarksville, TN<\/strong> – The Riverfest Regatta, sponsored by U.S. Bank, is not your typical boat race.

Not only will teams be racing for bragging rights, but trophies will be awarded to the first-, second- and third-place teams in each division.<\/p>\n

Don’t miss the spectacle! Everyone is invited to watch as groups attempt to paddle their cardboard or plastic bottle boats to the finish line on the Cumberland River at 10:00am Saturday, September 7th, at McGregor Park’s courtesy boat dock.<\/p>\n
