2021 Annual Regatta Event

A big thank you to Lacombe County for funding the 2021 Annual Regatta!
The annual Regatta was held on July 30 to August 01, 2021 and after missing last year due to Covid it was a welcome reunion of traditions and special events.
​The Regatta started on Friday with a Scavenger Hunt and a Tee Shirt Tie-dye event.

The Scavenger hunt was very successful I saw a large number of families I saw walking the roads of the Village participating in the scavenger hunt, it was good to see people meeting each other once again.
The Tie-dye event was a huge success as the 80 tee shirts were gone in less than 15 min. The shirts were left to dye over night and were all washed by hand the following morning and hung to dry with the names of the people who dyed them attached to them. They were all collected after the lunch.
 The land and water races where well attended by the residents. Lots of people out to participate. Lots of grandchildren this year as well good to see the next generation making memories they will remember forever. I talked to many people that told me how important this event is. They told me that it’s one thing that there kids have fond memories of from years past and look forward to.
It’s an event my children and my grandchildren look forward to every year and wouldn’t miss it.
 
Once the land races were complete there was a Hotdog lunch served complete with chips, cookies and water.
We also had a free raffle for the Adults with donations that were supplied by the local businesses.
Be sure to thank.

After lunch there were water and floatie races.
 
The day was wrapped up with a Fireworks Display at dusk that was well attended. A quick head count put numbers over 300 people, not counting the people on the water in their boats.
The Sunday morning there was a Sandcastle Building contest.
 
That’s pretty much what went on and these are the volunteers that made it all happen.
The Swanson Family Joann, Lyle, and their children for setting up the Tie-dye station and judging Sand Castle Building
The Taylor family, Catherine, Graham, Mara & Brynn. The Chad family, Madonna, Tony, Amy, and Lexi. Thanks for doing the land and water races and getting all the ribbons prizes, and donations.
The Janszen family, Doherty family and the Sherlock family for getting all the supplies and making lunch for everyone, it was amazing.
The Schmaltz family set off the Fireworks, Rose, Dave, and myself.
The Gauley Family for cleaning the beach of all the Fireworks debris the following morning.
 
I was impressed we have 5 families that have volunteered to help out for the next years Regatta. Great to see people step up.
I will put everyone in touch with each other for next year.
