The Old Greenwich-Riverside Community Center (OGRCC) announces that the annual Model Sailboat Regatta will take place on Sunday, Oct. 20 at Binney Park. This event will once again draw model sailboat enthusiasts of all ages from 1 to 4 p.m. Categories for homemade boats, motorized and remote-controlled boats are spread out throughout the afternoon.
“This event brings together multiple generations, often with grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren all collaborating on boat building and sailing. The pond is filled with both creative homemade boats made out of recycled materials and more intricate high-quality wooden model boats,” said Tom Casazzone, Executive Director at the OGRCC.
The event, which will also feature arts and crafts, and music, is one of the OGRCC’s primary efforts to raise money towards the Scholarship Program that supports over 70 families in the community each year. Donations help get kids involved in programs from soccer to childcare to summer camps.
