⚓️💙 The Astoria Regatta Court was honored to attend the Fleet Reception at the Astoria Armory on Monday evening as we welcomed members of the U.S. Navy and visiting sailors traveling up the Columbia River on their way to Portland for the Rose Festival. 🇺🇸

This special tradition provides an opportunity to extend Astoria’s warm hospitality and celebrate our community’s rich maritime heritage. The court enjoyed meeting service members, sharing stories about Astoria Regatta, and proudly representing our community during this memorable event.

We are grateful to all who serve and thank our visiting sailors for their dedication and commitment. Safe travels as you continue your journey upriver, and thank you for allowing us to be part of your welcome to the Pacific Northwest.

⚓️🌹 As the celebration continues, the Astoria Regatta Court is honored to represent Astoria’s Regatta Festival in the Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade this Saturday in downtown Portland. We would love to see your support—watch from home or come cheer on the court along the parade route!

Thank you for helping us share the spirit of Astoria and our “Raised on the River” tradition with communities throughout the Pacific Northwest. 💙

Through the Astoria Regatta Scholarship Program, Queen Chantrell earned over $7,000 in Regatta scholarships, and in total has been awarded more than $300,000 toward her future education. What an extraordinary accomplishment! 🎓✨

Throughout her time on the Regatta Court, Queen Chantrell has represented Astoria Regatta with grace, ambition, kindness, and genuine joy. She has brought her bright smile, positive spirit, and servant heart to every parade, speaking engagement, and community event, making a lasting impact wherever she goes.

She has been a wonderful ambassador for the Astoria Regatta, and we could not be prouder of the young woman she has become.

Whatever path she chooses next, we know she will continue to inspire others and make a meaningful difference in the world.

Congratulations, Queen Chantrell! Your future is incredibly bright, and we can’t wait to see all that you accomplish. ⚓️💙
