I specifically remember "milk carton boat regattas" at both the Aquatennial in Minneapolis, Mn and at the National Cherry festival in Traverse City, MI as well as a cardboard boat regatta somewhere in the Dallas, TX area. Details should be available at event websites.
Have fun and do some team building at the same time this summer!

Yeah! There are cardboard boat races all over the United States although many of them are not affiliated with GCBR and the rules are a bit different. There is another race here in the outer limits of the Quad Cities TV viewing area (Alpha) that has a race not affiliated with the competition that we are in. We can't race there because of the rule differences. I grew up on that lake, too. LOL.
Anyways, we've invited students that have signed up at the Moline Freshman orientation to be involved with the building of the boat.
