Widmer Cardboard Derby and Snowfest 2004
The Widmer Cardboard Derby and Snowfest 2004 will take place at Mount Hood Meadows next Saturday, March 20. Artists create crafts using nothing but string, glue, paper, tape, paint, and cardboard, and it must travel downhill successfully with all parts intact and up to six members on board. You don’t have to participate in the Cardboard Derby, though, to be a part of the action as Widmer will be hosting a huge party on the mountain for all to enjoy.
