Events and Activities : Cardboard Boat Races return to Vinton, July 26

On Saturday, July 26, The Vinton Parks and Recreation Department will be hosting its annual Cardboard Boat Races at the Vinton Community Swimming Pool.

Registration of your boat will take place from 6 PM - 6:45 PM on the day of the race and the competitions will begin at 7 PM. There will be prizes awarded for overall race winners along with some other fun race categories! Please pick up a registration form at the pool or the Vinton Recreation Center for the rules.
