This awesome shirt commemorates the first annual Ramblin' Raft Race that was held in 1979 in Columbus, Texas. Staged along the Colorado River, this wacky event was inspired by the Ramblin' Raft Race that had become a beloved Memorial Day weekend tradition for the residents of Atlanta, Georgia. The Atlanta raft race used to be held along the Chattahoochee River, and it lasted from 1969 until 1980.
The race asked participates to rush down the river in their best makeshift raft, and entrants rarely hesitated to use their creativity. The event was also infamous for attracting a large party crowd, and excessive drinking was often considered an integral part of the tradition. This tee suggests that the Columbus event had a similar vibe, as the shirt proudly showcases that the race was sponsored by Schlitz beer.
The tag says extra large but this shirt fits like a modern unisex adult large. This shirt is rib knit.
