It’s time again to get your crew of up to 4 people together and reserve your boat in this year’s 6th Fun-DUCT-Raiser! You can start building your boat from two simple materials: duct tape and cardboard! (BTW, the duct tape is supplied.)

Some pictures above from last year’s races. Gather some pledges with 100% of donations raised going towards the Long Lake Park Association, a volunteer-led organization that cleans and maintains the Long Lake Provincial Park in Spryfield. I’ll be there to MC the fun again this year with my friend Catheryn.

See ya on Sunday, July 13th! -Ian Credits: www.funductraiser.org & Ian Robinson photos.
