If your coming to the Rally. Why not stick around for the Jet Boat Rodeo on the Sunday following the rally at Riverside Recreation Area.
We will be putting on a Jet Boat rodeo for anyone that wishes to stick around and have even more fun.
There will be a small entry fee, and the boat that completes all the tasks in the shortest amount of time will take home a cash prize. More details will be available on the day of the Rally. And we will have a limited number of entries (max of 20 boats) so it does not take all day. You can pick up an entry form if you are interested in participating the day of the rally.

We set up an obstacle course on the river. Particpants must navigate around a number of bouys and also complete some tasks such as. lighting a roman candle that is floating on an inner tube, shooting a balloon that is perched atop a different inner tube with a pellet gun, retrieving a soccer ball the has been kicked into the river and tossing 10 tennis balls into a tub on the river bank. It is all based on time and the team with the best time takes the loot. Its rather challenging because you want to go as fast as you can to get the best time without spinning out around the bouys , but yet you have to come off step to light the roman candle (without getting it wet) and you are requried to idle in the river close to shore while your team mate tosses the tennis balls into the tub. and you must pop the balloon by shooting it no mater how long it takes or you get no time. There are also time penalties for missing bouys and so on. Its alot of fun and puts everybodys driving abilities to the test. See You There?...lol
