Thank you for your interest and support of the Stafford County Cardboard Boat Regatta. This is the 13th year that the Rock Hill Ruritan Club and the Stafford County Parks and Recreation department have partnered to conduct this family friendly event.The Regatta will be on Saturday, July 9th at Aquia Landing in Stafford County. The event opens at 10 am with boat registration.Opening ceremonies will include music by the Stafford Regional Choral Society’s SoundCheck group. Boat awards and races will begin around Noon.Boats are made from cardboard, tape, glue and painted to make then, hopefully, water-tight. Past creations have included traditional boats, battle ships, paddlewheelers, dragons, a whale, a giant cicada, Gilligan’s Island, and a bath tub.
