What are your plans this Sunday? Join me at Blue Mountain Ski Area in Palmerton for the Cardboard Box Derby!

If you are 10 years of age or older, you will want to be at the Summit Lodge between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. to register and the race will begin at 1 p.m. There is no entry fee for this fantastic afternoon of pure entertainment and enjoyment!

Bundle up and bring the family as this event is going to be so much fun! Each racing box may have up to four members. Imagine racing in your very own custom built box made from only cardboard, paper, glue, string and tape. Oh, and of course a functional braking system. Ok, wait, is this really possible?

I am looking forward to seeing all of the unique and personalized boxes as they race down Vista Trail! It totally amazes me that there can be so many different ways to design a racer made from a box and a few simple household materials. Did I mention that prizes will be awarded? May the best box win, and I hope it's yours! Send me photos of your entry!

As always, I'd love to hear about your plans for the weekend in the Pocono Mountains. I hope to see you at Blue Mountain for the Cardboard Box Derby!!
