Slide Show: Second annual Riverhead Cardboard Boat Race

Thousands of people came to the banks of the Peconic River Sunday to see if boats made of cardboard and duct tape could, in fact, float during the second annual Riverhead Cardboard Boat Race. The answer: they absolutely can.

The afternoon started with a hula hoop competition followed by five cardboard boat races. The second annual event was organized by the Riverhead Business Improvement District.

Check back tomorrow for full story and video.
