Raft Race — Riverton 4th

The Raft Race is a must-see event! Come on down to the Riverton Yacht Club to watch our intrepid sailors sink, swim, and occasionally paddle their way to victory! Returning this year is a kayak race! Contestants steering planks of polystyrene, plywood-topped inner tubes, PVC half-pipes with garden rakes, kitchen brooms, and Lego-like plastic paddles, because anything truly from the nautical realm is not allowed in this zany race.  That’s right, if it’s from a real boat or raft, it’s not allowed! Awards are presented for creativity, biggest spectacle, best-dressed and other honors. Be on the lookout for pirate attacks!
