Regatta Results!
The Raven Lake Regatta was held on Sunday, August 1st under perfect conditions. This year, 252 registered participants gathered on the Sandy Beach in the spirit of friendly competition to once again have a go at their favourite events. New friendships were formed and old ones rekindled as Raven Lakers of all ages shared the beautiful sunny day together.
Many thanks to the 45 plus volunteers for their happy energy which helped the day run so smoothly, especially to the tireless food crew with their wiener take all outlook.
