Loma Lumber proudly participates in various parades held in Nakusp, such as the Canada Day parade on July 1st. We've had some great floats in the past, and have the ribbons to prove it!

Build; Bail & Sail
 
 Build; Bail and Sail

The Build; Bail & Sail is an annual event on the Sunday of the August long weekend in Nakusp. Loma Lumber is proud to coordinate and sponsor the popular event that sees two-person teams create a boat (and paddles!) from materials available at Loma Lumber, to a limit of $85. We supply all materials, so there is no cost to the competitors. As for design, anything goes - just hope it floats!

The teams build their boats from 9 a.m - 12:30 p.m., using hand tools and cordless tools. Spectators can wander around and look at each team's efforts and make their predictions for the race.

Racing starts at 1 p.m. at the Nakusp public beach. Teams race their boats around a buoy, then the teammates switch positions and race past the next buoy to the finish at the beach.

This event is lots of fun for the participants and the spectators. A limit of 12 teams can enter, so register early!
