Description

Do you think you’ve got what it takes to build a boat & keep it afloat while riding inside? Gather your crew, build a boat out of corrugated cardboard and bring it out for the race of a lifetime. Email victoriacowell@align9.org for a full set of rules, regulations & details. No cost to enter!

The Cardboard Boat Race is a FUNdRAISER that has a focus on building community. This is an annual event that draws folks from all parts of the area. It pits people, who build boats made out of cardboard, get inside the boat (and stay inside if it continues to float) and race against each other in a simple “out & back” course. While we have race-heats, the premier race is the bragging rights race that faces off our hometown heroes: Police Departments vs Fire Departments. In collaboration with Lenoir City Parks and Rec, there will be a touch-a-truck event with food-trucks, large equipment & trucks for children to see & touch up close, fire engines, helicopters and live music on stage.  Ultimately, all of this effort is about helping the non-profit, The Prevention Alliance of Loudon County, add to their efforts in activities,  presentations, and messaging to encourage a drug free community.  SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR PRESENTING SPONSOR BCI -- Buckeye Corrugated Inc.
