River Fest '98, scheduled
for May 2nd and 3rd, is the first festival of an annual
spring event to be put on for the pleasure and entertainment
of the people of Yuba and Sutter counties and for folks from
the northstate area and all across America. The main feature
of the River Fest this year will be a Fun Run. This run will
provide an opportunity for boat racing associations to
assess the river course for races and activities sanctioned
by national boat racing associations.
Local fire and law enforcement departments will
monitor safety of all the activities in the air, on land and
in the water. The safety committee is comprised of more than
55 units including boats, airplanes, heliocopters and white
water rescue equipment from Yuba City, Marysville and the
two counties.
