CottageCountryNow Article: Emily Neal point leader at the 41st ...
The 2007 Rosseau Regatta happened on July 28, which was, as usual, the Saturday before the August long weekend. It was the 41st running of the event in the “modern era”, which started in 1967. Unlike last year, the organizers and participants were treated to a very nice summer day which meant that there were over 110 people registered to participate. Also, this year the committee decided to donate all entry fees to the Ruth Dare Health Clinic in Rosseau.
The J.S. Ditchburn Memorial Trophy is awarded to the participant who earns the most points. This year it was won by Emily Neal.
The Parry Sound Fuels trophies are awarded to the local boy and girl who earn the most points. They were won by Shannon Duffy and Nicholas Duffy.
