UPDATE: The Fun Day Regatta will be held on Saturday, August 4 at 21 Cottage Lane. Registration starts at 12:00 noon.
"Demonstration" events this year are
- Adult water balloon toss
- Horseshoes (regulation distance!)
- Tug-of-War
Much like the Olympics, there will be no official medals or trophies for the demonstration events. Also like the Olympics, sometimes demonstration events eventually become Medal events. And so this year, there will be medals for both the Senior and Junior Kayak races!
Of course, there will be the usual favourites too:
- Canoe races (Jr. and Sr.)
- Swim races
- Various land based games for children (by age group) such as 3-legged race, balloon toss, races and contests. And, of course, the most popular one of all, the sponge toss:
(bring your own parent!)
Life jackets may be worn for all water-based events and are encouraged for canoe/kayak races.
Free hot dog and drink for children (under 16). Adults $1 for either.
DON'T FORGET YOUR BATHING SUIT! Towels and lawn chairs are also a good idea. Bring your own kayak / canoe if you are racing.
Note that this event is open to all: Members, non-Members, Family, Guests, Friends and Relatives. Backlot Residents, People from Palette, Ripple, Jessop or Waseosa. Old or Young, ANYBODY can come! But no pets, please.
