Don't Miss The Cardboard Boat Races in Texarkana This Saturday

Ahoy Ye Land Lubbers! How well do you think you could build and float a boat made of cardboard? If you want to try, this is your weekend in Texarkana, Arkansas.

I can't think of many things more fun than watching people try to "not sink" in a homemade cardboard boat that absolutely will sink. The only question is, how long will it take to sink?

If this sounds like a giant mess of fun to you then you need to be a Bobby Furguson Park this Saturday, April 27 for the Communities Unlimited - Whatever Floats Your Boat Cardboard Boat Race.

Pictures: Sedalia Police Place First in Cardboard Boat Race

Sedalia Police, Sedalia Fire, and Sedalia School 200 administrators battled each other in a cardboard boat race in Sedalia Middle School's pool. The Police Department finished first, The Fire Department Second, and Sedalia 200 school officials last. At the end of the event students in attendance were chanting for certain people to jump in the pool, including Principal Brett Hieronymus. Our Randy Kirby snapped some photos of the event.
