Diamond Cup Fundraiser Loses 25K

Item: Hydros roar, cash doesn't: Diamond Cup Regatta posts $25,000 loss/Bill Buley, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: "Even though we fell short this year, it really isn't a negative," said Doug Miller, board member of the Museum of North Idaho who helped bring the regatta back to life. "It's to be expected for the little time we had." The cost to bring the Diamond Cup Regatta to Coeur d'Alene this summer was more than $57,000. Sponsorships, a banquet, live auction, golf tournament and hydroplane rides brought in just over $30,000.

Question: Do you consider the Diamond Cup Regatta this summer to be a success?
