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.

It’s being billed as the “Worst Festivus Ever”, and even though it may be, it’ll still be a lot of fun!
For the past 12 years, the Battle Creek Metropolitan Area Mustache Society (BCMAMS), has brought people out to Leila Arboretum for some winter fun that raises money for charity. The self-professed “do-gooders” admit it won’t be like the past dozen festivals. The pandemic demands an event without all the bells and whistles, but it’ll still have the two (ok three) most important things:
Cardboard sleds
Snow
BCMAMS was formed in 2007 with a mission of “Changing the face of charity…right under your noses.” The group has sponsored the Leilapalooza Music Festival, Raft Races, and the Festivus cardboard sled race extravaganza.
