BAY CITY, MI — The last weekend in June always marks a busy weekend in the Great Lakes Bay region, especially on the water with the Dow Bay City River Roar.
And as the race event heads to the Saginaw River in downtown Bay City for the 25th annual race weekend — which make it the longest standing powerboat race in the country — race officials are doing everything they can to make sure people throughout the community get involved — literally.
A new feature brought to the River Roar this year that coincides with the quarter-century festivities includes an opportunity presented by River Roar officials and the American Power Boat Association to take a class and learn how to become a power boat racer.
