Annual World Championship Cardboard Boat Races

Jul
11

Races begin at 10 a.m. with youth and adult divisions. Races determined by speed. Vie for the “Pride of the Fleet” award or the notorious “Titanic Award”. Battle it out in a Tug-of-War contest, watch the kids dig for treasures or build sandcastles in the sandsculpting contest, and play volleyball. Visitors can stuff themselves in the World Championship Watermelon Eating Contest. However, nothing is over until the Cardboard Boat Demolition Derby. You won’t want to miss it. Call for a boat application at 501-362-2444 and create your own cardboard boat.
