One of my relatives sent me some photos from the Raft Race, which my family always participated in. Did anyone else here participate? Does anyone remember when or why they quit doing it?

LOL! There were five of us kids and my parents took us to Opryland and made us all where Cypress Creek Raft Race T-shirts so they could keep up with us. Didn't they have a watermelon seed spitting contest there, too? I think my little brother may have won that one time.

Not that it would be organized or anything. No.
Just a... coincidence.
Yeah, that's it. A coincidence. That's the ticket.

I just googled "great cypress creek raft race" to see what might turn up, and ran across this 2008 thread. Really great to see so many wonderful memories from this event that we held over 30 years ago.
