On Friday, April 1, the surveying, concrete canoe and concrete Frisbee competitions were held at A. J. Jolly Park in southern Campbell County, Ky. If UC’s hopes sank, at least their canoe did not.

Approximately 250 college students attended from 12 schools representing Ohio, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.
