Cardboard Classic returns to LCC

The Cardboard Classic at the Gier Community Center joins DIY engineers in a crafty competition to see who can build the fastest cardboard sled. Designs that have popped up at past events include Viking ships, the Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo, giant squids and, oddly enough, a bowl of chicken soup. Each unique sled then competes in a race down the hill outside of the Gier Community Center. 

Competitors are limited to building their sleds entirely out of cardboard, paper, tape and glue. While certain soft materials may be used to enhance the sled aesthetically, the bulk of it must consist of those materials. Wood, hard plastic, glass and metal are strictly forbidden. Sleds are judged on design, and there are several award categories.
