The L/A RiverFest wrapped up its two-day celebration of the Androscoggin River with a regatta Saturday at Simard-Payne Memorial Park. Seventeen teams took to the Androscoggin as drums were heard by the docks. Thuds reached all the way to the John T. Jenkins Memorial Bridge that links the Twin Cities together above the river. In the afternoon, folks with different types of vessels were able to hop on the water and cruise the Androscoggin. Festival organizers said that the L/A RiverFest is set to return next summer with even more water fun.
