Due to expected rain today, the third annual Cardboard Boat Regatta has been postponed until Friday, Oct. 11. Check in will be 9-10 a.m. with the race starting at 11 a.m.

The date change will give teams more time to fortify their watercraft.

The boats will be on display on the lawn west of the Helen Hamilton Center prior to the race. Awards will be given in such categories as fastest boat, best design, LLCC spirit and Titanic!
