As chair of the waterfront committee for Clearwater's Great Hudson River Revival and its direct descendant, known as For Pete's Sake [named for Clearwater's founder and longtime advocate for clean water, Pete Seeger], I make it a point to invite small boats organizations, especially youth groups to participate in the festival. These groups get festival visitors out on the water in kayaks, rowing boats and the occasional canoe or sailboat. Most of the boats are built by the participants. They have the opportunity to meet each other and have a good time together, as well as exchanging ideas.

A hidden agenda is that we are overcoming the public perception of the Hudson as foully polluted.

This year's festival will take place on June 14 at Croton Point Park on the Hudson River and is co-sponsored by Westchester County.
