"The Regatta Committee is hard at work preparing for

race boats on water - unlimited hydroplanes - on the banks
of the Ohio River on July 4, 5, and 6," said Ann Geyman,
this year's president.
Thirty vintage hydroplanes are expected to take part in the
Bob Snelling Vintage Memorial Event on Friday, July 4. Other
events throughout the Regatta Festival include the American
Legion Post 9 Fireworks Show, around 9 p.m. Saturday, air
shows on Saturday and Sunday performed by Madison resident
Cliff Robinson, and the Music on the River program on Thursday
through Saturday nights on the Regatta stage at Jefferson
and Vaughn streets. Music is scheduled from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
nightly.
Returning this year for the music program are collectible,
numbered vintage race boat pins being sold for gate admission
to the Thursday, July 3, and Friday, July 4, music activities
to those who do not have a Regatta admission wristband. Buttons
are optional and can be purchased for attending the Saturday
evening entertainment. Buttons will be $2 each, with three
different boat designs available and they will be numbered.
Buttons can also be purchased Sunday, July 6. Because of the
high demand and a limited number of buttons for sale, the
Regatta cannot guarantee any leftovers.
