<div dir="ltr"><div><font size="4">Folks,</font></div><div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><font size="4">We're just over a month away. I know, what happened to summer?</font></div><div><font size="4"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="4">This is shaping up to be one of the biggest/best events our fleet has put on. We already have nearly half of the fleet registered, and I expect the overall number to go much higher before we race. Technically, the deadline for early registration has passed. However, this is one last shout out to let you register at the early registration price before we update the web site at the end of day this Friday. </font></div>

<font size="4"><br></font></div><div><b><u><font size="4">Racing</font></u></b></div><div><font size="4">The racing program will be as great as ones we've seen in the past. We'll likely see 6-7 races on Friday, 4-5 races on Saturday (including a medium distance race), and a few more (2-3) on Sunday.</font></div>
<div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><b><u><font size="4">Music</font></u></b></div><font size="4">We have premium live music booked for both Friday and Saturday night.</font><div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div>
<b><u><font size="4">Food</font></u></b></div><div><font size="4">The food plan is the best we've ever had. We'll be grilling on Friday night with the usual selection of brats, burgers, and chicken. Saturday night will be a fully catered event that you're sure to love. There will be plenty left to feed the crowd on Sunday as we hand out awards.</font></div>
<div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><b><u><font size="4">Beer</font></u></b></div><div><font size="4">Excelsior Brewery has generously donated a pile of kegs for your drinking pleasure. Instead of the usual light beer, you'll love all the craft beers from Excelsior.</font></div>
<div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><b><u><font size="4">Rum</font></u></b></div><div><font size="4">Gosling has decided to donate several cases of their outstanding rum for our event, along with some ginger beer. ...and that's just for starters. Our premier sponsor, Sika, has decided to provide a fully-loaded rum bar with all the spirits we'll need to ensure a great time. You're gonna love the Sika Scow Bar!</font></div>
<div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><b><u><font size="4">Shirts</font></u></b></div><div><font size="4">Countless hours have been spent designing the tech-shirts for this regatta. These shirts look awesome, and are made of high-tech materials.</font></div>
<div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><b><u><font size="4">Raffle</font></u></b></div><div><font size="4">We have over $11,000 in sponsorship donations, many of which will be raffled off Saturday night. Tickets will be sold Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.</font></div>
<div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><b><u><font size="4">Chase Boats</font></u></b></div><div><font size="4">We're working on plans to have chase boats available for spectators as well as photographers.</font></div>
<div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><b><u><font size="4">Photography</font></u></b></div><div><font size="4">We have several photography sponsors setting up to shoot the event, both on the water and off.</font></div>
<div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><b><u><font size="4">Trophies</font></u></b></div><div><font size="4">There will be an impressive series of trophies for the winners to keep.
