We’ve all had a tough week. A little fun won’t take away Sandy’s devastation, but we might as well have some laughs where we can.

Just for grins, here are some photos from the recent annual Kinetic Sculpture Race, where “cheating is not a right, it’s a privilege.” The first such festival was held here in 1983, making it the third oldest kinetic sculpture festival. Vehicles must be operated by humans (not engines) and prove their ability to travel on land, water, and in mud and sand.
. The goal, as I understand it, is not to win, but to come in somewhere in the middle. Just another day in a wacky paradise!
Enjoy, and have a great weekend!
- Crisis at the parade as one sculpture has a flat.
- The flowerpot proves that it can float!
- It’s hard work passing the water test.
Great photos–looks like a fun event! I’ve never heard of a kinetic sculpture race, but it looks challenging! 🙂
It’s really great, silly fun. There are a lot of free-spirited folks in this town, and I love it!
Nadine, these shots are great! I love the flower pot! Who says creativity is dead? Activities like these demonstrate that it’s alive and well! Thank you for sharing these with us! 🙂
I live in a town filled with artists, writers, and actors. It’s great fun!
