This past weekend, Battle Creek held their Worst Festivus Ever event. Normally, this would also include lots of food and drinks to be had by all but, unfortunately, those had to be skipped this year due the pandemic. Thankfully, there was plenty of snow on the ground for the main event: The Cardboard Sled Competition.
I don t think that s the official title but I m sticking with it! Participants crafted their best cardboard sled and tried to make it to the bottom of the hill in one piece. Emphasis on try for some of the competitors.
I have to say, I m wildly impressed with the creativity of some of these cardboard sleds. From a full princess castle to a giant mustache motorcycle with high handlebars, or ape-hangers as they re sometimes called, these competitors did their best! Check out this video from Kevin Line, an independent videographer and streamer, highlighting a few of the contestants.
