Gayle,

Too much fun is right!!     We are about to engage in a similar "battle" here in Aurora IL.   On Saturday Aug 22, we will participate for the third time in the local chapter of the United Way's Annual "What float's your cardboard boat race."   Sponsored by the local chapter of the United Way, this annual race has garnered more than 20 entrants this year -- MANY of them local non-profit organizations.   Among them we'll be competing against this year will be our "friends" in the Aurora Fire Department, and several volunteers with the American Red Cross (who we frequently partner with). 

Our "boat-chief" has crafted some really fantastic boats -- an antique fire engine, and a giant floating fire helmet -- all out of cardboard!  This year, we are employing a secret "weapon."  We're building a fire boat with a working water pump capable of squirting three streams of water 20 feet! -- (presumably swamping the competition?)

For more details -- see us on Facebook:

They've been tweeting and egging each other on the last couple of days. It's been fun to watch. There may be a video made, but I'm unsure. I'm presently following @QueensMuseum and @brooklynmuseum among others that are doing this. Too much fun.

These guys seem to be generating real interest, and it looks like it portends to be a great deal of fun.
