Fan Pier Boston is open for business and the boats are in. PUMA may have finished 4th in leg six but they are dominating the Race Village. PUMA City is an 11,000 square-foot retail and event structure made from twenty-four, forty-foot long steel shipping containers, each weighing in at eleven tons. Built in China and designed to be a mobile retail and event unit, PUMA City was shipped to Boston via cargo ship. It definitely gives you the urge to buy something.

Volvo also has an impressive display of hardware including cut away station wagons, smart car simulators and excavators. Kids can ride around on Volvo scooters and dad can check out diesel engine systems. Ericsson’s pavilion was closed to the public for awhile last night for a reception but it looks pretty cool too.

There is an experience dome (inflatable movie theater) and pool for RC boat racing set up. The noticeable Rhode Influence are the big cans of Narragansett beer. You can park right next door to the venue and admission to the village is free. info
