cardboard race

3rd Annual Maumelle Area Chamber of Commerce Cardboard Boat Race

Armed with cardboard, duct tape and a few other odds and ends, participants use skill and ingenuity to transform these materials into a vessel for the water. Not only does their ‘boat” need to be quick, but it must be capable of carrying passengers as well. Teams of two design and construct a boat to participate in a race at Lake Willastein. This is a great team building project for businesses and families, and a fun and entertaining event for spectators to watch.
