The group organized music, food, drinks, and a 100-foot slip n’ slide for those who wanted to gather to celebrate river life together. “As soon as the city cancelled Tuesday, I made it up ad got everything going,” said event co-organizer Daryl Chase, 36, of Crafton, who asked only that people bring dish soap for the slip n’ slide and have a good time.

Stella Goodwine, of Penn Hills, holds a butterfly during a group butterfly release to honor loved ones to close out the Moraine State Park Regatta on Sunday, Aug. 4, 2019, at the park in Portersville. Goodwine and her family gathered to honor her brother-in-law, Anthony Rivers, who was fatally shot at age 26 in 2008. On the day of his shooting, which also fell on August 4th, butterflies visited his mother, and have continued to follow members of the family since that day, continuing at his funeral and during big events in their lives, said Rivers’ mother, Peg Rivers, 65, of Stanton Heights. “That’s our representation of him, he was a free spirit,” said Ms. Rivers of the butterflies’ symbolism to her.
