If winter has you looking for something fun, clear your calendar for Saturday, February 7th.
That’s when cardboard, creativity, and controlled chaos collide at a Cardboard Sled Race happening at The Lanterns, and yes, it’s exactly as entertaining as it sounds.
What to Know Before You Build Your Sled
Here’s how it works: you build a sled using only cardboard, duct tape, glue, string, and paint or decorations. No sneaky plastic. No metal. No “well technically this is cardboard-adjacent.” Just pure, old-school creativity. Once your masterpiece is complete, you’ll race it. Entry is $10 per racer for one run, and if you survive and want to go again, additional runs are just $5 each.
Registration runs from noon to 1PM, with races kicking off right after. And don’t worry, this isn’t just about speed. Prizes will be awarded for Fastest Sled, Saddest Sled, and Best in Show, which means even if your sled falls apart halfway down the course, you might still be a winner…
