In the grand one-year-old tradition of 2010 we’re bringing back the ÄNYTHING THAT FLOATS competition. If it floats it counts, but if it floats and looks pretty, or floats very fast, it counts even more. The captain of the fastest vessel wins two tickets to Up the Creek 2012, as does the captain of the best looking contraption. Granted, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in true Up the Creek style we’re not talking merely a splash of paint and a pink balloon here…
