Cardboard Cup Regatta sails into its 28th year Saturday

Sink, swim or even sing. It’s pretty much all been done at America’s Cardboard Cup Regatta.

“You never know what’s going to show up,” said Nick Kachiroubas, board chair of the event.

Drawing everything from Rockin’ Elvises to a Pink Cadillac to SpongeBob SquarePants in the past, the unique, 28th annual festival takes place at noon June 23 at Main Beach in Crystal Lake, 300 Lake Shore Drive. Admission costs $3 a person, $15 a family.
