SUMMARY:SLOUGH RACE - KENMORE, WA
DESCRIPTION:Kenmore Hydroplane Cup: The Return of the Sammamish Slough
  Race Saturday, April 11 Log Boom Park & Kenmore Boat Launch\nThe ina
 ugural Kenmore Hydroplane Cup event revs up on April 11. The event wil
 l be held on the north end of Lake Washington at the newly remodeled K
 enmore Boat Launch and Log Boom Park. The timed exhibition race will f
 eature a variety of boats including two cylinder and three-and-up cyli
 nder boats, Native American war canoes, junior hydroplanes, and RC hyd
 roplane demonstration. Competitors will race one or two boats at a tim
 e up the Sammamish River, navigate around the challenging oval course 
 and back to the Kenmore Boat Launch. The event is organized by local r
 esident and artist Gaul Culley.\nThe original race, known as the \"Slo
 ugh Race,\" was wildly popular between 1928 and 1976 and drew crowds o
 f spectators between 40,000 and 80,000. The idea to reintroduce the ev
 ent came last year after local artist Gaul Culley organized the Sammam
 ish Slough Race exhibit at Kenmore City Hall, which drew hundreds of 
 racing fans.\nSaturday, April 11\n9:00 a.m.     Pits open @ Kenmor
