Please join us on July 12th and 13th in a race to the rescue as Middlesex County Volunteer Rescue Squad’s Rescue Regatta returns with racing, exhibits two evenings of good food, and good music hosted at the Deltaville Maritime Museum. Organizers expect to surpass the 2023 success in funds raised and in fun had. Registration details can be found in the coming weeks at htps://rescueregata.life/.
The Deltaville Maritime Museum, well known by all in Middlesex and surrounding communities as a wonderful venue for nature walks, music in the park and celebration of the area’s maritime culture and history, has graciously become a foundational sponsor of the Rescue Regatta.
On July 12th doors open at 5:00PM. Registered Regatta captains can learn of any final race details, and other guests may wish to discover the beautiful Museum grounds, from a stroll through the Holly Point Nature Park, to the F.D. Crocket or the many other exterior exhibits. At 6:00PM delicious fare lovingly prepared by the MCVRS Ladies Auxiliary will be served at the Pavilion. Beer and wine will be offered along with our signature “Rescue Me” and Dark n’ Stormy mixed drinks. At 6:30PM The Michael Clark Band, featuring Tracy Clark on vocals, will take the stage. They have the tunes and the chops to move you to and on the dance floor all night!
On July 13th at 9:00AM the Rescue Regatta skippers, and crew will take to the water to race. Fishing Bay Yacht Club, another of our foundational sponsors, designed the course and will officiate the race. The Notice of Race and registration details are posted at htps://www.regatanetwork.com/event/27901#_home and htps://www.fbyc.net/. Doors open at 6:00PM on Saturday. At 6:30PM Smokin’ Joe Davenport will be at the pit in the Pavilion serving up barbequed pork with all the right sides to start the celebration. Beer and wine will be offered along with our signature mixed drinks. At 7:00PM Ray Pitman with core members of The Revival will carry the evening. The band, known for their “old school rock and soul,” will absolutely raise the roof ’til closing time!
