Boys and Girls Club of Carbondale members paddle a cardboard boat Saturday across Campus Lake as part of the 40th annual Great Cardboard Boat Regatta, presented by Alpha Chi Sigma. The regatta invited teams to build cardboard boats and compete in races. Chrishon Sawyer, center, a second-grader from Carbondale and member of the Boys and Girls Club of Carbondale team, said the race was great and he had a lot of fun. Will Sutphin, a graduate student in geography and environment resources from Bartlett, volunteers with the club and helped the children build their boat. “We’ve done this several years now,” he said. “It’s a blast.” Laura Roberts-Daily Egyptian
