The Darien Youth Commission invites you to its 27th Annual Tilley Pond Model Boat Regatta on Saturday, May 4. (There is no rain date scheduled for this activity). — an announcement from the Darien Youth Commission
Registration is scheduled to start at noon, non-racing judging will take place from 12:30 – 1:00, and the races will begin shortly after 1:00. (Again this year, there will be two races: Heat #1, for all home-made models; Heat #2, for all of the Youth Commission Pinewood Boat kit entries will take place immediately following Heat #1.)
There will be ample opportunity for EVERYONE in the family to enjoy the event. We are again including the support and involvement of the Darien Sail & Power Squadron. In addition, refreshments will be available from the famed Uncle’s Deli Hot Dog Cart; the Depot will be doing face painting & tattooing; the Kiwanis Club is again sponsoring the musical entertainment, and Georgie the Clown will be on hand passing out balloons thanks to the generous support of the Darien Parks & Recreation Department! (REMINDER: BALLOONS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO BE ATTACHED TO ANY BOAT RACING.)
There is a $4 boat entry fee and all are welcome to participate! Kids are encouraged to bring their own homemade vessels.
