Middlesex County Volunteer Rescue Squad has been a critical part of Middlesex County since 1956 as the volunteers and later, the Ladies Auxiliary had the vision, time and energy, and a sense of duty to serve the community. And in turn, the volunteers have long drawn our support, financial and otherwise from residents and local businesses. Now more than ever, the residents of Middlesex County have an incredible opportunity to do something truly meaningful, i.e., to help us make a difference in people’s lives. Those who volunteer know what a privilege that is.
So, please join us on July 25th and 26th in a “race to the rescue” as Middlesex County Volunteer Rescue Squad’s Rescue Regatta returns to Deltaville. Organizers expect to surpass the success of 2024 in both funds and fun raised. More details can be found at https://rescueregatta.life/.
Early on the evening of July 25th Fishing Bay Yacht Club will host a meet and greet for the regatta captains and crew where they will also learn of any final race details at the traditional skipper’s meeting. Light refreshments, beverages and entertainment will be on hand.
In the morning on July 26th skippers, and crew will take to the water to race. Fishing Bay Yacht Club will organize the course and officiate the race. Though not yet available, the Notice of Race and registration details will soon be posted at https://www.regattanetwork.
After the race the festivities continue at the MCVRS Station House. Smokin’ Joe Davenport will be at the pit in serving up barbequed pork with all the right sides and desert catered by the ladies of the MCVRS Auxiliary. Beer and wine will be offered along with our signature mixed drinks, Dark and Stormy and “Rescue Me.”
Our MC, Dave Rockafellow and The Michael Clark Band Featuring Tracy Clark on Vocals will carry the evening. Throughout the event bids may be placed on offerings from the Rescue Regatta 2025 Live Auction. Many of the larger items to be offered will be posted online a few weeks before the event at https://rescueregatta.life/.
