Accessible activity focus of upcoming regatta
Activities at this year's Moraine State Park Regatta are planned to accommodate small groups of people as part of the planning committee's new focus on eco-recreation.
While this will help mitigate crowds to align with COVID-19 guidelines that are in place during the event in August, Amanda Becker, event planner with Appleseed Events, said the focus on small group size is meant to demonstrate accessible activities anyone can try any time they are at the park.
“We tried to reprioritize the focus,” Becker said. “We want the whole point of the event to be about not only promoting Moraine, but showcasing different activities people of all ages and abilities can do at the park.”
The regatta takes place from Aug. 6 to 8, and will celebrate Moraine's “50+1” anniversary, since last year's event had to be canceled because of COVID-19.
