In the first annual “Battle of the Boats,” Spencer Chamber of Commerce staffer Blake Goss will face Spencer Radio Group personality Rhiannon Smith in the homemade cardboard boat race on Sunday as part of Flagfest at Stolley’s Pond. Choose a winning side and drop off bets at either the chamber office or SRG location in north Spencer. All proceeds will benefit the Spencer Fourth of July fireworks. (Photo by Randy M. Cauthron)
