Prizes will be awarded for fastest times (1st-3rd), Pride of the Regatta (People’s Choice), Most Spirited Team, and Titanic Award (Most Epic Sinking). Just prior to launch there will be a calcutta auction to choose the winning boat. Boats will race from the north side of the lake to the south side. The Regatta is free to enter, however, there is a $25 deposit which is due with the entry form. Deposits will be used if the rescue crew must be deployed to rescue racers and boats. Entry forms can be picked up at Commercial State Bank, can be downloaded from the Wagner Pool Fundraising Facebook page, or is available from any Catch the Wave committee member (Jamie Tjeerdsma, Darcy Kaberna, Michele Juffer, Andrea Fischer, Stacy Knebel, Ericka Kotab).
