Getting into the nationwide Octoberfest craze, San

"BOGSOTOY". The first of which was held on the
31st of October 2004. BOGSOTOY is a series of
racing events with a touch of mixed traditional and
modern sports. Part of this event is a boat race

means to "paddle" and SOTOY which means "to go
swiftly or quickly". BOGSOTOY has been an annual
event from then on.
