Boat Decorating Workshop

September 15, 2018 | Posted in Uncategorized | By

Saturday, September 22, we’re having a boat decorating workshop for people interested in taking part in this year’s FLOWtilla. The workshop is 10-3, and we’ll be decorating our own giant cardinal boat! The FLOWtilla will take place at 1:30, Saturday, September 29, at 1:30 from the Darden Towe boat ramp. The FLOWtilla is a competition for Best Decorated Boat, judged this year by Alex Nyerges,  Director of the Museum of Fine Arts.  Entrants last year included a big duck made out of duct tape and other materials, a bee boat, and the Lewis and Clark Exploratory Center’s Photo Boat, a boat displaying underwater photography and covered with camera stencils.
