Confirmed: Tri-Cities Boat Races are BACK ON!

After initially canceling the Tri-City Water Follies for 2021, there's good news for boat race fans...IT'S BACK ON! After Washington State announced the new covid-19 guidelines, boat race organizers decided to take a second look at the initial decision to cancel this year's event. Since this event takes a ton of planning, most of it would've been worked out by now. Now it's a scramble and things will look a bit different than in years past. Not because of the shortened planning time, but generally because there will still be some covid guidelines to follow. Organizer Kathy Powell says in a recent Facebook post (below) that there will probably be more general admission and fewer private hospitality tickets. Either way, hot fun in the summer sun is back for the Tri-Cities!
