Please don't let the nay sayers rule the day. Keep this fine tradition, sometimes in limited form, sometimes int he full fledged glory I've heard was part of the past.
When we overlook, or bypass such fine traditions, we lose a little of ourselves, a little of our community bond. Go out and enjoy regatta this weekend. Talk to your neighbors, get to know them and celebrate the unique vibe that is Charleston, West Virginia.
