Three new crews in action at Pend Oreille Regatta

PRIEST RIVER — The Pend Oreille Rowing and Paddling Association, Palouse Rowing Juniors, and Cranbrook Rowing are new additions to the Head of the Pend Oreille Regatta in Priest River on Saturday, as top rowers from around the region are coming for the fifth annual race. 

The newcomers will join Gonzaga University, Washington State University, Coeur d’ Alene Rowing Club, Palouse Rowing Club, Nelson Rowing and Spokane River Rowing Association in the regatta at 10 a.m. at Thama Shores.

“This is exciting to see on several fronts,” says Patricia Sudick, the event chair. “The competition for the junior crew, Canadian rowers and the presence of a local competitor.”
