2019 World Championship Cardboard Boat Races
The theme for the 2019 World Championship Cardboard Boat Races is Planes, Trains and
Automobiles. Race
participants will stretch the limits of their ingenuity to design boats that
represent
their
favorite mode of transportation that is not a boat. Whether the choice is
Thomas
the
Train, a Fighter Pilot, a Model A Ford, a Conductor or the Spirit of St. Louis,
these
cardboard
crafts and costumes are sure to be amazing.
The
Races will begin at 10 am on Saturday July 20th
at Sandy Beach on Greers Ferry
Lake
in Heber Springs, AR.
Boat
races will begin at 10:00 a.m., with timed heats for both children and adults.
The
Pride
of the Fleet Prize will be awarded to the boat that best combines innovative
engineering with artistic design, while the Captain’s Award goes to the team with the
greatest
spirit and crowd involvement. And of course, the Titanic Award is reserved for
the
boat with the most dramatic sinking.
There’s plenty of additional fun planned for the day, with a treasure dig, watermelon eating
contest,
and some new and exciting things all on the agenda. Enjoy the
spectacular
surroundings of Heber Springs, a jewel of a town located just 60 miles
north
of Little Rock, on the shores of Greers Ferry Lake and the Little Red River in
the
foothills
of the Ozark Mountains.
More
