Clarksville, TN – The Riverfest Regatta, sponsored by U.S. Bank, is not your typical boat race. The boats racing down the Cumberland River Saturday morning, September 8th, will be made of cardboard, a few other approved materials and new this year, plastic bottles!
Not only will teams be racing for bragging rights, but trophies will also be awarded to the first-, second- and third-place teams in each division.
Competition will be in five divisions:
- Adult Open
- Business and Industry
- Church/Civic
- City Department
- Military
Prior to the race, boats will also be judged for the following awards:
- Titanic Award – best sinking of a boat.
- Ship Shape Award – best boat design.
- Cardboard Queen Award – prettiest boat.
- Team Attire Award – most creative costumes.
- Team Unity Award – most spirited and organized team.
