 The Mayor’s Cup event was the premiere part to the New York Waterfest.  A day devoted to raising awareness for the Hudson River and raising money for Riverkeeper.  Many folks enjoyed a day of rafting.  20 - 12 foot commercial whitewater rafts left Pier 96 and paddled down to North cove marina.  The sounds of laughter, fun and excitement filled the beautiful fall day. For more information go to www.nymayorscup.com or www.riverkeeper.org
