Mid Ontario Sailing Regatta this weekend – July 25 – 26
Our own Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club is hosting the 2009 Mid Ontario Championship Regatta this weekend. This is a big event that attracts a large number of participants. Sturgeon Point comes up big to host a few hundred competitors and families in our small community every year the Regatta is held here. You’ll almost certainly notice a few tents and a whole lot of young sailors out and about our community this weekend. You’ll certainly notice an unusually large number of sailboats on the lake – its quite a sight. Let’s hope for fair winds and good weather to help make our visitors feel welcome.
The 171st Sturgeon Point Regatta
The morning of Monday, August 3rd will see the Village gather again on the beautiful front lawn at Swannanoa for the 171st running of the Sturgeon Point Regatta. There will be running races and lots of other contests and games to challenge the very young to the very old. The action shifts to the Public Beach in the afternoon for the swimming and canoe races. This is always a fun day and a great chance to participate in a Sturgeon Point tradition.
