More Info About the Toy Boat Race
The Toy Boat Race will be run by our local Optimists Club and will help raise funds for the Fergus Habitat for Humanity. Guests will purchase wooden boat kits for $10, and go to our crafting area behind The Fergus Public Library where they will personalize them by painting and decorating their boats. During the day, the entrants will be displayed in the crafting area and then transported to the Riverboat starting location.
The race will run down The Grand River, over a two-foot waterfall and through white water rapids until they reach the finish line in Templin Gardens. There will be a badminton net stretched across the river to catch the boats. This event will be live-streamed using a drone following the race. Guests will have plenty of space on either side of the river and on bridges to view the excitement.
The winner will receive a “Cog” valued at $100 which can be exchanged for goods at the vendors or participating stores.
50% of all proceed go toward supporting local youth groups.
