Itinerary:

Join us for our first-annual Ice Floe Race on the Bow, followed by a Spring Break-Up Party.

Meet at Bowness Park at 3:00. Your racing team should be no less than three people, and no more than eight. Choose your ice floe carefully - it will have to last you and your teammates all the way to Edworthy Park where we'll pull off the river and celebrate with some tasty tasty ice cream at Angel's. To win the race, your entire team must arrive ON your original ice floe.

In addition to the main event, we will also have the following contests to round out the day:
- Ice-Floe Drag: Additional points to any team whose captain jumps into the water at the end (polar-bear style) and drags their floe to the designated finish line
- Ice-Cone Making: A prize to the team who makes the best ice cones from ice off of their own floe. No yellow cones, please.
- Ice Fishing: Poke a hole in the center of your floe and fish during your float. The team with the most fish wins.

Dry suit
