What is your favorite part of the Astoria Regatta?
“The parade is really
good. It has a lot of
activities. It’s not just
advertising or commer-
cial. It’s just once a year
the small community gets
together, and you see people
you haven’t seen in a long time.”
“To me it’s the sailing
because I was a
sail boater for 22
years.”
Rob Robinson,
Astoria
