And the fun continues on Sunday at Point Michaud with a Fun Surfing Day. Sounds like a great weekend at the beach, so come out and take to the waves or take your lawn chair and watch the festivities. It should be great.
The Surf Classic is not the only event taking place this weekend. The River Bourgeois Festival will be taking place from August 27th to September 4th. This is one of the last festivals held in the County during the summer and it heralds the last hurrah before the kids head back to school. This year's event promises lots of fun filled activities for the entire family including one of the highlights for the younger folks being a Disney Tea Party where the party goers can have their picture taken with one of their favorite characters.
Until next week I hope you have fun taking in all the great activities in Richmond.
