Memorial Day means a party
--
and a regatta
As always, the Memorial Day weekend brings a memorable party. Mark your calendar for Sunday, May 25. The Prairie Wind band has been booked and a tent rented. Dinner will be potluck at 6 p.m. and the club will provide meat and drinks.
New this year is a Memorial Day weekend regatta on Saturday, May 24. We'll have two fleets from the series races plus a fun-racing fleet, totaling three races. There will be prizes for the winners! For those in the PHRF Series, the first two races of the regatta will count as races 1 and 2 of Series 1.
