Festivus is a family-friendly cardboard sled competition with a BEER TENT.
Over the years, we have had simple sleds and fully functioning Sherman Tanks. We have had detailed funny cars with chrome cardboard engines and Transformer VW Buses.
The rules are simple:
1. It’s FREE TO ENTER & FREE TO WATCH.
2. You must only use Cardboard and adhesives (glue, tape, natural adhesive) and fanciful adornments that don’t aid in its function, only for fashion.
3. Be ready for fun and frivolity.
Registration starts at 1pm.
The Race begins at 2pm.
We wrap up when the beer is gone.
Feel free to come early and help set up and talk economics and cardboard engineering.
There will be food, music, and other activities.
Bring cash for beer and merch though we can take the plastic. No Diner’s Club or Travelers Chèques will be accepted this year.
