Think you can out‑engineer the competition? Put your creativity to the test at our Cardboard Boat challenge! The goal is simple: build a boat at home, bring it to the pool, and see who can stay afloat the longest!
Your mission: • Build your boat using only cardboard, tape, and pool noodles • Bring your masterpiece to the event • Place a rider inside … and hope you don’t sink! • $15 per boat to enter
Whether you glide gracefully across the pool or go down with dramatic style, it’s guaranteed to be a splash!
Enjoy complimentary donuts while you cheer on the cardboard captains!
Deadline to register is August 1.
