Description: 2008's Kinetic Sculpture Derby will be Saturday May 17th 12:30 PM The parade leaves at 12:30 from Trenton and Norris Sts and should arrive back to the Trenton Avenue Arts Festival at 1:30 with the award cermony at 3pm. The Arts Festival is from 12-5pm. A Kinetic Sculpture is a Human-powered vehicle that also has an artistic theme. Think of parade floats on bicycles, or mummers on hand crank driven pirate ships, or an alien space ship on 2 welded together bikes, think of a giant pink poodle hurdling through space, mud, sand and water. A Kinetic Sculpture Competition is all about fun and ingenuity, making the wackiest, most interesting contraption is the goal- finishing the course or winnning is not. Kinetic Sculpture Competitions have been taking place all over the world since 1969 when a California artist named Hobart Brown made some artistic improvements to his son's tricycle.

Description: The biggest pack rat east of the Mississippi is moving west. I have been told I have one of everything made since the industrial revolution (thanks Steve). This is an accusation I cannot dispute (if only because I don't really know what I have). Now it is time to move and I must break up the collection and distribute my wealth to those who can make the most use of it. If you make things, fix things, or collect things you will NOT want to miss this opportunity.

Description: The Art Buggy Derby is both an intense race of SPEED and a fierce competition of INGENUITY. It's about building the fastest Buggy that will cruise across the finish line first. But it's also about building a Buggy that creates art during the journey of the race. Art that will wow the judges after the smoke settles. This is the riddle of the Art Buggy Derby-a Buggy can cross the finish line second and still win the race on account of the art it created during the race.
