Saturday, August 10th was one of the most fun days of the year here in my neighborhood! Reston Museum hosted their third annual Cardboard Boat Regatta, and it was a huge success. More than 50 teams of creative people raced in boats they had built out of cardboard and duct tape, and the results were just as hilarious as you might expect. Crowds were massive — I’d never seen so many people at Lake Anne Plaza — and it was great to see so many people coming out to support such a great event. I love my neighborhood so much.
This hilarious regatta is a beloved annual tradition that supports the Reston Historic Trust and Museum. I’m on the Board of RHT, so it’s a cause that is close to my heart. Huge thanks to all the participants, organizers, volunteers, and sponsors for a day that was a ton of fun!
