Today was the 8th Annual Regatta and Family Fun day at the Canoe City Park in Leavittsburg. People there got the chance to take a pontoon boat ride on the Mahoning river, or even take a shot at racing a canoe or kayak. There was also live entertainment, featuring the Cortland Community band. Organizers say the days is a way to give back to the residents of Trumbull County.

"WE JUST NEED TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE COMMUNITY. TO GET EVERYBODY OUT. NOTHING HAPPENS AROUND HERE ANYMORE. SO WE JUST TRY TO GET EVERYBODY. NOT JUST LEAVITTSBURG, BUT ALL AROUND TRUMBULL COUNTY. WHEREVER THEY COME FROM TO COME OUT AND ENJOY A BEAUTIFUL DAY OF ENTERTAINMENT, THAT'S BASICALLY ALMOST FREE."--Dave Shaffer Regatta Organizer

Those in attendance also had a chance to shop around at a craft show and flea market at the park.
