Boat Races are coming back July 28th - July 30th courtesy of The Water Follies and it will be a spectacular weekend of awesome races but one of the reasons spectators love the races are the crashes.
We've compiled some sweet (or not so sweet) hydroplane crashes from The Columbia Cup over the years.
The weather is FINALLY getting nice and nothing says Summer in Tri-Cities like Hydro Boats!! Each year in June Hydro boat owners come to the Tri-Cities and test their boats on the Columbia River
If you were in attendance at the 2016 Columbia Cup final race you may have thought Jimmy Shane in the U1 Homestreet Hydro won the race....not the case here's what happened!
If you've been in the Tri-Cities for even a few weeks, you will have heard about Boat Races. That magical weekend at the end of July where Pasco and Kennewick become host to a river-side montage of beer, sunburns, partying, and oh yeah, hydro-boat races...
Due to budget cuts, the Air Force has refused to perform flyovers at large community gatherings. They are resuming this year, but only at 450 events. The jets were requested at 5,000. Water Follies will get an F-16 but The Pendleton Round-Up was snubbed.
The Miss Tri-Cities Scholarship Pageant invites all women between the ages of 13 and 24 to enter the competition to be held during the week of the Water Follies in July.
