The Rend Lake Hoverally originally set for Saturday, April 24, at Rend Lake, has been postponed until Saturday, May 8. Gary Butson, event organizer and chair of Southern Illinois University Carbondale's Department of Technology says the later date will give more high schools an opportunity to participate. The Hoverally features students from SIUC's Department of Technology and area high schools who design and build hovercraft. Hovercraft float on a cushion of air just inches off the ground.
Admission is free.
