April Tools Wooden Boat ChallengeWhat's in Store for April tools 2012?Needless to say, the Pender Harbour Living Heritage Society isn't going to give that away just yet! No doubt there will be some interesting twist to test the boatbuilding talents of the this year's participants but, as usual, it will not be divulged until the day of the event---which is April 28 this year. One thing you can be sure of is that it will be fun and maybe even a little devilish! The day will begin at 10AM with the reveal of the 'twist' and the first view of the building materials. Building from the materials provided (only hand tools and cordless screw guns allowed!) will begin at 11AM and continue till 2PM. Then the high schoolers will have their trophy race and free-for-all while the tired builders take a much need break. Adult races will follow and who knows how it will all turn out! Will they sink or swim? Will they even get all the way around the course? Can anyone beat the Garden Bay Firefighters?? Upsets (of all kinds...) can happen! Meanwhile there will be burgers and baked goods to keep everyone energised and lots of fun activities for the little kids. After all, what would April Tools be without free mini-boatbuilding! Handmade boats will be available to row or paddle around the Harbour for free. In other words, you're in store for another great April Tools---if we're lucky we may even have a beautiful sunny day like last year! Be part of the action! Sign up your team of up to 4 builders by printing the entry form below and mailing it with your $160 entry fee to the address on the form. If you get it in by April 1st, it's even cheaper at $140! We're really looking forward to April Tools 11---come out to Millennium Park in Madeira Park on April 28, 2012 and join us! Don't forget to check out the Photo Gallery to relive the excitement of years past.  April 28, 2012 Seafarer Millennium Park Madeira Park, BC
