(June 2009) – Madison Regatta race
fans are getting excited about the upcoming Unlimited hydroplane
season, which opens July 3-4 at Madison.
This year, the community-owned Oh Boy!Oberto-Miss Madison
will proudly wear the U-1 on its helm. For the first time
in its 48-year history, the Oh Boy! Oberto-Miss Madison (U-6)
finished first in National High Points for Unlimited hydroplanes
for the 2008 season. This entitles the team to carry the coveted
U-1 designation throughout the 2009 racing season.
The week prior to the race in Madison is filled with activities
that range from a waterball competition among firefighters
to a street dance for visitors and residents.
Entrants sought

Xi Beta Upsilon chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority will again
sponsor the Miss Madison Regatta Scholarship Pageant.
The pageant will be held this year on Monday, June 29. It
is for women 18-26 years old. Entrants must have reached their
18th birthday by June 1. The pageant is limited to the first
