Homemade vessels attempt to float down the Tenandeho Creek

Sunday was quite the spectacle in the City of Mechanicville, as the annual 'Anything That Floats' regatta showcased ingenuity and creativity when it came to vessels surviving the fast moving waters of the Tenandeho Creek.

Every year, participants use whatever they can gather to make their 'boat' float. Some make it the entire ride, while others - well, put in a noble effort.

The 2024 regatta showcased a number of different homemade watercrafts that tested the rapids.
