2011 Green Mountain Head Regatta

2010 Results
The 2011 Green Mountain Head Regatta has been CANCELLED.
Regretfully we must cancel the 2011 Green Mountain Head.
We held off making this decision as long as we did because
the forecast truly looked much better. But the forecast got worse.
And now the river flow is twice as great as it ever was before.
We tried to set the course buoys, but they got swept under or away.
And that was the clincher.
However, the Barbecue is still on, and will be better than ever.
If you're in the area, or even if you have to fly in from Chicago,
please join us at Graeme Kings Boatworks for good food and
great company, just up the hill from the regatta site, 5:00 PM on.
And we hope to see you all next year. Thanks for your support.
