Cardboard regatta takes to Walton Pool

Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Middle school boat builders line up for the start of the annual Middle School Summer Science Class cardboard boat regatta Monday at Walton Aquatic Center. Each year students build a boat from nothing but cardboard and duct tape and spend a morning seeing whose boat lasts longer in the water. Teachers Amy Switzer and Julie West shepherded this year's class through the process of designing and building the boats using cardboard donated by Chair Mart and Ellis Furniture. A list of winners was not available as of Tuesday afternoon.
