Are you ready for some exciting news about the 2024 Rubber Loon Dive season? We're thrilled to announce a brand-new event - The Rubber Loon Dive! 

In the past, our loon competitors have shown off their speed racing down the river. But this year, we're switching things up and putting their diving skills to the test. We want to see which loon will take home the title of the best diver. 

Join us for the fun and launch your loon into the lake (or we can do it for you!) and see if they can land in one of the top three floating rings. It's going to be a splash
