Adirondack Basement Systems Returns as 'Cast Off Sponsor' for Mechanicville's 2025 Anything That Floats Event

Mechanicville, NY – February 26, 2025 – Adirondack Basement Systems is proud to announce its continued support as the 'Cast Off Sponsor' for the 2025 Anything That Floats Event, part of the 50th Annual Tenandeho White Water Derby. The event will take place Sunday, April 6, 2025, along the Anthony Kill, and concluding at the Mechanicville City Dock.

The Tenandeho White Water Derby, now celebrating its 50th year, is a thrilling 4.5-mile paddle down the Anthony Kill, starting from Coons Crossing and ending at the Hudson River. Participants navigate rapids and showcase their paddling skills in a spirited competition. Following the derby, the Anything That Floats Regatta invites community members to display their creativity by constructing unconventional watercraft from various materials, to try and float down the river. These homemade floats embark on a quarter-mile journey from behind O'Reilly Auto Parts at 80 N. Central Ave to the Mechanicville City Dock. The event celebrates innovation, community spirit, and the joy of sailing unique crafts downstream.

In the 2024 regatta, Adirondack Basement Systems made a memorable splash with their upside-down "All Things Floaty" umbrella float, capturing the imagination of spectators and participants alike. This year, Kevin Koval and his team are excited to stay dry with an all new Adirondack Basement-themed design, aiming to once again charm the crowd and successfully navigate the course.

The 2025 event is made possible through the generous support of various sponsors and participants. Notable sponsors include DeCrescente Distributing Company, The Connors Agency, Polyset, Pioneer, and The End Zone, among others. Their contributions ensure the event's success and the continuation of this cherished community tradition.

Festivities kick off at 10:00 AM with a Vendor Fair at the Arts Center on the Hudson, featuring local crafters, vendors, and organizations. The White Water Derby begins at 12:00 PM, followed by the Cast Off Derby at 2:00 PM, where rubber ducks race downstream for a chance to win prizes, with proceeds supporting the Mechanicville Area Community Services Center (MACSC). The highlight of the day, the Anything That Floats Regatta, sets sail at 2:30 PM. Attendees can enjoy live entertainment, food trucks, and family-friendly activities throughout the day.

Adirondack Basement Systems invites everyone to join in the festivities and witness the creativity and community spirit that define the Anything That Floats Regatta.
