ROTARY BED RACES TO RUN SATURDAY, SEPT. 12
Local, Statewide Officials to Participate
The Rotary Club of Plattsburgh's Celebrity Bed Race Regatta will take place on City Hall Place in downtown Plattsburgh, at 11 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026, prior to the Battle of Plattsburgh parade. Bed Race Regatta Co-Chair Vicki Reome Brayton said, "It's hard to believe that we are holding our 16th bed races. Many visitors to the Battle of Plattsburgh weekend have told us they enjoy watching the teams race down the street as much as they do the annual parade. We hope everyone stops by and cheers on the teams."
"I love being part of something that brings people together and makes a difference."
October is recognized as Polio Awareness Month by Rotary International and other organizations to raise awareness and funds for polio eradication. The month-long campaign culminates with World Polio Day on October 24, which commemorates the work done to combat the disease and highlights ongoing efforts to eliminate it worldwide.
