This annual regatta on the Rappahannock River off Irvington is a beautiful race for classic sailboats that combines fun, seamanship and savvy with good times and the opportunity to help others by raising money for local hospice services, all in one great weekend. This "Turkey Shoot" regatta (named for its earlier timing closer to Thanksgiving), is one of the largest regattas on the Bay and is the second largest hospice regatta in the US and had earlier been named by the Chesapeake Bay Magazine as "the Best in the Bay." www://turkeyshoot.org.
This 3-day event is a combined effort of the Irvington Community, Hospice Support Services of the Northern Neck, Riverside Hospice Agencies, Rappahannock River Yacht Club and Yankee Point Yacht Club, with shore-side events, including some open to the public such as happy hour on Friday October 4th and dinner on October 5th, at the RRYC at 100 Rappahannock Road, Irvington.

Weaving tales of life's adventures through heart pounding rhythms and powerful lyrics, Raquel & The Wildflowers will take you on a journey where the dust settles and the cowboys & cowgirls dance.
Singer/Songwriter Raquel de Souza won a ReverbNation contest in 2018 for her first single ``Run Towards the Highway``. The song went #32 on DRT Top 50 Country Airplay charts alongside country stars like Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan. Shortly after she performed live on air for several radio stations throughout the USA.
A year later in 2019, Raquel changed her artist name to Raquel & The Wildflowers. Since then, she has toured the USA independently with her band, lighting up stages featuring headliners like Dierks Bentley, Kane Brown, Thomas Rhett, Sara Evans, and others.
Other notable performances include opening for multi-platinum artist Andy Grammer, award winning bands as well as performing at the Ohio State Fair, The Big E Fair, MusikFest, Country Fest, Lando Live, Thursdays Downtown, Northern Appalachian Folk Festival, The Cutting Room, The Geneseo Riviera and more.

On August 1, 2023, she released the album exclusively on a CD, and by December 22, 2023, all the CDs were sold out. The digital version will be accessible worldwide on music platforms starting February 27, 2024. The digital album will feature two bonus tracks known as the “Lavender Version”.
