Teams challenge champions at Demmin's Peenefest rowing race

The annual Demminer Peenefest will feature a cutter rowing competition on Sunday, June 15th, with the Rustower Recken, the previous years' champions, facing new challengers. Twelve teams, including a mixed team from the Goethe-Gymnasium and several other newcomers, will compete in the race, which involves rowing a plastic cutter over a course of twice 400 meters. The competition is a highlight of the festival. The event, which will be held in the harbor area, will see the teams, including the Rustower Recken, compete for prizes awarded by the mayor. The competition is expected to draw hundreds of spectators.
