Serious competition in this year’s Berlin bathtub races

Continued from Page 26

Main Street will be closed to traffic starting at 2 p.m. to set up the track. The tubs will be at the Welcome Center at 14th and Main Street between noon and 2 p.m. to register.

“The track is 100-foot sprint, drag race-style,” Nellans said of the competition, which features a bathtub-inspired cart, its driver and a pusher.

Nellans also encouraged people to come out early to visit the stores and restaurants.

There will be a half-time hula hoop contest for kids, with prizes from Island Creamery. Spectators can purchase chances for the 50/50 rubber duck raffle. If all the ducks are bought, the winner could receive $1,500.

Delmarva Sports Network will be broadcasting LIVE from the Atlantic Hotel balcony.

Nellans said volunteers are still needed and they can sign up at signupgenius.com/go/10c0e4fa9aa2a a2f9c70-bathtub#/
