STAFFORD — Even though the high-temperature today is slated to be 100 degrees, that’s not the reason why the 15th Annual Cardboard Board Regatta won’t leave port.
Stafford County Parks and Recreation officials tell us the event that was originally scheduled for Saturday, July 20 is canceled due to low participation. The imposed deadline to sign up to participate in the cardboard boat races was July 12.
