I have the opportunity to attend an amazing 4th of July party every year and it's a real treat. I can spend some time hanging out on the Shields River, see some great fireworks and indulge in exotic meats, however this is only the beginning! For example, the Boat Race. What can I say about Boat Race? The rules include but are not limited to: No store bought boats, must not exceed 2 by 2 feet in size, and there are many more rules as they seem to continue to multiply as contestants continue to bend them. This year the question arose as to how many boats are allowed per contestant, and resulted in one of this year's contestants choosing to exploit this unregulated aspect of the event.
