Moraine State Park Regatta Update
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we believe in giving back to the park. Following our previous contribution to the park’s accessible fishing area, we are thrilled to announce our next major project: the South Shore courtesy dock. After years of service, the dock has begun to show its age. To restore it to its full potential, the Regatta is funding a complete replacement to ensure better access for boaters for years to come. The dock will be 8′ wide and 40′ long, and as of June, we have close to $4000 left to raise before this project can become a reality.

We’re used to the Pittsburgh Three Rivers Regatta, but the change was good. Food was great and reasonable. My daughter got a free t-shirt from K-Love and some other things from other vendors. Traffic, parking, etc., was nothing near as crazy as downtown Pittsburgh. It was nice!
