The inaugural BQ Cardboard Boat Race was a huge success last Saturday at Miami Beach State Park in Middle River, MD. The event was organized by the Bowleys Quarters Improvement Association's Just BQuz group. Prior to the race, Julie Brown from the MD NRP gave a water safety talk on ways to avoid drownings and stay safe out on the water. Following the talk there was a one hour timed build  and race for children. In the second race, adult participants built their boats at home and brought them ready to race. The first annual event was so much fun for all involved and it promises to be even bigger and better next year.
