We are planning some fun activities for all three days along with some old favorites like the Sika Cup Quick and Dirty Boat Building Challenge. We are looking for teams of boat builders for the Sika Challenge. In 2003, our six teams of builders had a great time racing their crafts to cheers from the spectators onshore.
