Quick n' Dirty Boat Building Contest
The
Quick'n Dirty Boat Building Contest is a two day fun filled
festival in and of itself. The teams bring a Mardi Gras
feel to the festival by picking themes, naming their boat
and dressing up in costume. "Lord of the Tchefuncte", and "Reigning
Clowns" are two examples of names past crews have used.
Trophies are given for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and "Best of Show".
Sign up forms are provided below.

- The winners get a cool trophy and of course, bragging rights for a whole year.
