The Soggy Bottom Cardboard Box Regatta & Family Fun Day
Proudly brought to you by the Rotary Club of Youngtown, the Soggy Bottom Cardboard Regatta started in 2017 with the aim to provide the local community with a free family fun day while raising funds for local charities.
Held at Launceston's iconic Cataract Gorge swimming pool, participants test their design and boating skills by paddling the length of the pool in vessels constructed using only cardboard, gaffer tape and imagination. Boat captains of all ages are invited to participate but must register in advance. The teams with the fastest times win, and this year's charity beneficiaries are JCP Youth and Diabetes Camps for Kids.
Spectators can attend for free without pre-registration, and the many family-fun events on shore include:
- Duck race: Cheer on your duck for a chance to win fantastic prizes.
- Best dressed competition: Show off your creative flair and compete for the best-dressed title.
- Tug of war: Gather your team and battle it out in this classic strength challenge.
- Food trucks: Satisfy your cravings with a variety of tasty options from local food trucks.
