CANstruction

A short break from the ride report to brag a little about what may be the first CANstruction event in Alaska.

CANstruction is an event where different groups raise money to buy canned food, build a sculpture out of the cans, then donate the cans to the local food bank. I can't remember all the details but the DOWL team (where I work) won the judges award and will be entered into the National Competition.

We raised around 7600 cans, and everyone had a great time. Mariea and I built the Juice box in about 5 hours with only one small collapse. This time of year the food bank is really in need due to the normal holiday run. Hopefully this will become an annual event and give them a boost they need for many years to come.
