Arkansas Weekend: Rock the boat

When a boat is made of corrugated cardboard, it’s all about staying afloat — or sinking in spectacular fashion, Jennifer Nixon writes in Thursday's Arkansas Weekend section.

It’s usually quite the spectacle when Heber Springs hosts its annual Championship Cardboard Boat Races. Individuals, duos and teams will take to the water Saturday in cardboard-only vessels decked out in themed garb.

Beyond boat races, there’s a watermelon-eating contest, a volleyball tournament, a treasure dig and a sandcastle-building contest.
