Good morning, Pasco.

The 10th annual Richland Regatta is coming to Howard Amon Park this weekend with free boat races, bounce houses and a beer garden for adults along with local food vendors for families.

Racing begins at 10 a.m. today and at 10 a.m. on Sunday — families should arrive early to secure good viewing spots.

Pasco Police are holding regular Business Watch meetings to strengthen ties with local business owners and improve community safety.

They also offer Coffee with a Cop events to allow residents to meet officers face to face — opportunities that help build trust before anyone has to call 911.

The Richland Regatta is underway today and will continue Sunday at Howard Amon Park from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (lunch is from 12 to 1 p.m.) as families enjoy free boat races with local and visiting teams and a live SWX broadcast for remote viewers.

City officials prepared the park with tree trimming and road closures to help the event run smoothly and boost local tourism.
