Cheese Box Race in Eganville

The 1st Annual Eganville Great Canadian Cheese Box Race cheese box race took place on the August 4th. The fun, inventive “boat” race which features upcycled old cheese boxes celebrate the Bonnechere River and the heritage of the Eganville creamery.

The funds raised will contribute to a central waterfront boardwalk revitalization project that will be enjoyed by the entire community. Castle location Eganville Country Depot participated in the event that saw 500 decorated cheese boxes from corporate sponsors and the community dropped into the whitewater of the Bonnechere River for an exhilarating race.
