Event description: The 10th Annual Rotary River Rally, produced by
volunteers from Tempe, Arizona, Rotary Clubs, raises money for children’s
charities.
Wild and crazy cardboard boaters (this could be you!) build and paddle their
creations around a 200-yard course in search of coveted (and not so-coveted)
awards. The boats are built in a wide range of themes some of them are fast
and some of them are fun – most of them even float for their entire heat.
