The Great American Raft Race offered a spectacle at Lake Worth’s Bryant Park as rafters battled for supremacy. The theme this year was “Art on the Water.” Rafts ranged from one-man canoes to full-blown soapbox-car concoctions on floats instead of wheels, but almost all had a painting or painter as inspiration, from Andy Warhol to Vincent Van Gogh.
From the Paws on the Avenue raft, covered in green fabric and oversized playing cards in an homage to the “Dogs Playing Poker” paintings, one woman in a captain’s hat yelled at the crowd, “Who let the dogs out?” Without hesitation the crowd replied with the chant, “Who, who, who, who?”
“It’s just a great event with a lot of adults having fun,” said Laurel Robinson, a member of the Bryant Park Neighbors Association. The Association’s raft bore a can of soup that read “Cream of Bryant Park,” paying homage to Warhol.
Robinson said she’s happy to see attendance has grown from a small neighborhood to hundreds gathered along the canal wall watching rowers try to stay afloat.
