| Raging Elk Cardboard Derby |
| Not only a fun event but a great way to make use of your recycling! Participants recycle cardboard into the most creative of constructed sleds (covered wagons, boats, helicopters, the Flintstone mobile and more) and then ride them downhill!!
Teams construct their sleds out of cardboard, paint, glue, and tape and cruise gracefully down a ski slope toward a target painted in the snow! This is not a race – there are no points for speed. The entries will be judged based on the construction and creativity of their design along with their accuracy to hit that target in the snow. The crafts can be simple or complex, with up to 4 “pilots” to help maneuver the craft down the hill. A good time is assured, so get your team together!
