Event Name:
30th Hospice Turkey Shoot Regatta
Description
The 30th annual event as the Turkey Shoot Regatta--in support of local Hospice Services--is one of the largest (as many as 142 boats) sailing regattas in the Chesapeake and will be held on the Rappahannock River off Carter Creek from Oct.3-5th. Co-sponsored by local yacht clubs Rappahannock River Yacht Club in Irvington and Yankee Point Yacht Club of Lancaster, the land-based activities will be at the RRYC facility on Rappahannock Rd in Irvington.  Google: HospiceTurkeyShoot Regatta,com for details, maps, registration information and a schedule of events. Many of the land-based events such as the cocktail party on Friday and the dinner Saturday night and the lunch and awards event on Sunday afternoon are open to the public and souvenirs and other refreshments will be available for purchase. 

This time this is also considered to be a memorial event in honor of John McConnico who co-founded this race in 1989 with colleague Chuck Harney while at the Yankee point Marina. John passed away this past spring and wife Carole Jean will be helping us preserve his memory across all the years she and John had made this event such a success as a fund-raiser.
