Mountain Mama's Hospice Regatta - First Year
September 10, 2011
Mountain Mama's Hospice Regatta was Almost Heaven. After a week of heavy rain, Saturday September 10 dawned...really really foggy. But it turned into a beautiful sunny day with just enough wind to move 15 boats skippered by sailors from as far away as Oregon and Canada to finish the race by mid-afternoon.
That left plenty of time for enjoying the food, games and bluegrass bands (five of them!) before award time. In all, this first-ever hospice regatta in West Virginia raised $7000 for Hospice of Southern West Virginia, and gained many fans vowing to return next year.
