Float Your Boat was a big attraction on a sunny Saturday afternoon at Flagstop Resort and RV park in Milford.

The director of the Geary County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Connie Hall said 18 boats were entered in the competition this year.  Participants make their boat out of only cardboard and duc tape…..in some cases lots of duc tape.

Hall stated there were some awesome boats. “Fantastic designs and we’ve got a good location too.”

The event was originally planned for the South Boat Ramp at Milford Lake, but after that beach had to be closed due to a blue green algae warning for that portion of the lake, it was moved.

JC Post asked Hall if the CVB is looking to keeping at the Flagstop Resort and RV park beach site. . “I believe we’re looking into it. This has really been great. Flagstop’s been beautiful to have. We’ve got plenty of room, plenty for a crowd, we’ve got all these campers that have come down to watch, increases the crowd. So I really do believe that’s what’s going to happen.”

Hall noted the number of boats compared favorably with the turnout one year ago in this annual event.

Participating boats follow a course on the lake near the shoreline.
