Camden Schooner Festival 2009


This weekend the town of Camden hosted the Schooner Festival. It was a lot of fun and the weather cooperated. On Saturaday they had a lober crate race which is always a crowd favorite.
The contestant had to run across the crates and get to the other side. If you make it to the other side you turn around and come back. The person who can cross the most crates win. This young man was the winner, making it look like a cake walk.
Everyone has their own style, some wear socks, others just their sneakers, but the serious ones wear water shoes. Most don't get very far, but everyone has fun.
One Sunday the build-a-boat race took place. You have one day to build a boat out of two sheets of plywood and some adhesive. As you can see there were plenty of designs. (some not designed well)

Saturday night the library hosted a movie, "Captains Courageous" in the amphitheater. It was very neat to be sitting in the very same place they filmed the movie. There is a scene in the movie where the characters are in the amphitheater. It was the perfect night for an outdoor movie.
