SUMMARY: At Tom Big B State Park, people gathered for the first cardboard boat race, with attendees building boats using only cardboard and duct tape. The event aimed to encourage park utilization and showcase its offerings. Ten teams participated, and the boats were judged on floatability, aiming for “Best in Show,” “First to Finish,” and the “Titanic Award” for the best sink. Most boats sank shortly after launch, with only two completing the course. Chelsea, from Outdoor Adventures, also built a boat, but it sank quickly. The amusing and community-centered event brought fun and attention to the park's resources.
