Duct Tape Regatta

from 2021 Springville Art City Days

Grand Parade

SATURDAY, JUNE 12

Gather a team of friends, family or neighbors and head up to Wayne Bartholomew Family Park following the Grand Parade on Saturday, June 12, to participate in the Art City Days Duct Tape Regatta.

This event will have teams building boats out of cardboard and duct tape and attempting to paddle around the pond at the park.

Anyone can participate in this event, which will be conducted from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the park, located at 1090 S. 2900 East in Springville.

Each team entering the regatta can have from two to 10 members. The teams will each receive a stack of cardboard and a roll of duct tape and then be given 30 minutes to build the most sea-worthy boat and paddle they can using those materials.

One member of the team will then race the boat around a buoy in the middle of the pond. The first team to paddle around the buoy and back to shore without sinking will win.

Those wishing to participate should go to www.springville.org/art-city-days/regatta/ and download the 2021 Release Form as well as the Team Information Form. All completed forms must be emailed to artcitydays@ springville.org or submitted in person at the Springville Recreation Office, 443 S. 200 East, by 4 p.m. on Friday, June 11.

There will be enough materials available that day to accommodate a maximum of 35 teams.

For late registration, bring all information directly to the regatta to be put on a list in case additional spots are available. Team captains will be responsible to have their teams gathered and ready at competition time and must make sure that each team member has completed the Release Form. Those without valid release forms will not be allowed to participate.
