The location of  Saturday’s “Float Your Boat” cardboard boat races put on by the Junction City/Geary County Convention and Visitors Bureau have been moved to the swim beach at Flagstop RV Park in the City of Milford.

The move is due to the blue green algae “warning” status for Zone A at Milford Lake, which includes the Milford State Park swimming beach, the original location of the races. Under the “warning” status the state park swimming beach is closed.

Flagstop RV Park is located in the City of Milford which is located in Zone B. Zone B remained in a “watch” status, which still allows water contact.

“The race will still be conducted in very similar fashion,” said Connie Hall, Director of the Junction City/Geary County CVB. “There’s plenty of room to have it there, there’s plenty of parking. Just so people know that Flagstop is graciously opening their gates, so people won’t have to pay to get in.”

The races will begin at 2 pm, boats must be on site between 11 am and 12 pm. Public display and judging will take place between 12 noon and 2 pm. No Pre-registration required, and no entry fee is required. Boats can be made only out of cardboard and duct tape.
