Last day for boat’s to register. All boats must have submitted their final Name of Boat (or boat will be only known as the resident’s last name) and pay $30 registration fee.
September 19 – RACE DAY!
Boats must be brought to the Macum Creek kayak launch by 9:00 A.M. From 9:30 – 10:00 A.M. there will be a Boat Crew and Safety Boat Crew Orientation. All boat crews must come to the Boat Crew Orientation. During this time, we will collect team members’ signed waivers and give out t-shirts.
Each boat entry will receive 10 complementary food vouchers for the Food Truck Smorgasbord ($10 value). From 11:00 am through the race, guests will have the opportunity to eat a variety of foods from the best Food Trucks in our area, check out the boat displays in the wharf and “vote” for their favorite boat with dollars. This is a great opportunity for boat builders to solicit “votes” for the People’s Choice Award.
