Thank you to all who could attend the Dells First Annual Riverfest this past beautiful Saturday put on by the Dells Stewards.

The event was a large success. The kayak competition had over 30 paddlers competing for gold in 5 events; while 5 universities competed for gold in 8 events. Guests and teams came from over eight hours away to join in the fun, enjoy the scenic views of the beautiful Dells and leave no food to waste. Also two Universities stated that this was the best regatta that they have ever attended.

One of the greatest parts of the festival was to see the paddlers excitement to support the mission of the Dells Stewards and their preservation efforts in keeping their race course beautiful and worthy of future world class rowing status.

Planning for the next has already begun and were looking at bringing in a few more college teams to compete. We are also promoting Pat Anderson who was our weather chairperson for her excellent job and bringing the beautiful weather back again for the next.
