Regatta ahead of last year for donations

CRANBERRY TWP — The planner charged with reviving the Regatta at Lake Arthur said Thursday she’s miles ahead of where organizers where last year in terms of getting donations and sponsors.

The Butler County Tourism and Convention Bureau last year hired Holly Muchnok of East Wing Events in Allegheny County to organize the event, which has suffered from declining attendance for several years in a row.

Primarily organized by a volunteer staff in the past, the regatta is a full-time job in itself, Muchnok said of the event will occur at Moraine State Park on Aug. 2-3.

Muchnok briefed the tourism bureau board Thursday morning, saying that although the regatta is in its 16th year, this is the first time the event has been organized by an outside person. And that, she said, already is paying dividends.
