Middletown Regatta Fills Riverside

 A large group of parents, students, supporters and athletes filled Harbor Park Saturday for the Emerson Regatta where high school rowing teams from across the state gathered to compete in 4 and 8 seat boats.

Early reports saw the Middletown girls team take two second-place spots, and the Middletown boys winning one heat.

Painters Jacqueline White and Paul Batch stood with easels at the North End of the park capturing river scenes.  White actually painted a rowing craft into her vista of the river.

The last race takes place at 5PM on Saturday afternoon.
