The annual Northbrook tradition which puts one's ability to transform cardboard into a seaworthy vessel is back on Saturday, July 23. The Northbrook Cardboard Regatta starts at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Northbrook Sports Center, 1730 Pfingsten Road.

Join the Northbrook Park District for a challenging, fun and wet adventure that combines cardboard, tape, creativity, energy and engineering. Build a cardboard boat, bring it to the pool and race against other homemade boats. Awards will be presented for speed, creativity, people's choice and team spirit. Each team member must register individually at nbparks.org by Wednesday, July 20.

Recreation Supervisor Taylor Witter can't wait to host the popular event, stating, "We're excited to see the unique creations everyone brings to the water!"
