The River Regatta is an annual event that takes place on the Colorado River between Laughlin, Nevada and Bullhead City, Arizona. An estimated 24,000 participants floated the nine mile course from Davis Camp and to Rotary Park. Some stopped along the way to picnic and party at Big Bend of the Colorado Park, or continued their float another 10 miles to the Avi Hotel & Casino.

Riverfront houses in Arizona displayed American flags in support of this year’s theme, True To The Red, White and Blue. Many floats were also decorated with the patriotic theme in mind.

We at Around The River Publishing, Inc. are proud to capture the excitement of the Regatta through photos and video, and to share them with you.

Be sure to look for the Around The River Real Estate magazine® in displays throughout the Inland Empire of Southern California, as well as in the Tri-State Area of Nevada, Arizona and California. You can also view our Virtual Magazine online, or subscribe at AroundTheRiver.com

Tom Gallant, owner of Around The River Publishing & Producing, Inc., once again teamed up with Pilot Herb Hess of Laughlin Aviation, LLC to record the 5th Annual Bullhead City River Regatta. At 8:30am while rafters were launching their crafts at Davis Camp, Tom and Herb were flying overhead. Two hours of raw footage was obtained, and many great highlights were captured.
 

 
Not only did Tom record the event, he also interviewed River Regatta participants. The majority of those interviewed had positive things to say about the event, while a few mentioned that more signs were needed to signal the exit point at Rotary Park.
 
Around The River was also pleased to work with Linda Fitzpatrick of the California Historic Route 66 Association in the creation of their 85th Route 66 Celebration – Needles website. They ask that you Join in the fun November 11-12, 2011 as Needles celebrates this prestigious anniversary with a Poker Run, BBQ, and Car Show. Vendor and Car Show applications are available online.
 

To round off the month, Around The River joined many of the area’s Realtors® at Team Fahey‘s gorgeous riverfront listing, 9853 Dike Road. This magnificent home graced the cover of the June 2011 Issue, and being on its sandy beach was like literally stepping into the pages of a magazine.
 
We are looking forward to a full September starting with the release of our September 2011 Issue of Around The River Real Estate magazine® in our local and Southern California racks as well as online.
