The Great Cardboard Boat Regatta takes place on Saturday, June 27 at 12 noon at Lake Ellyn Park. The event coincides with the Picnic in the Park.
Preview creative boats and floating objects d'arte starting at 10am as hundreds of Glen Ellyn residents vie for bragging rights for this year's best looking boat, best dressed crew, best sinking, and best race time just to name a few of the awards handed out.
Cheer on young and old as they try to outpaddle the disintegrating cardboard material that keeps the sailors afloat during the race.
