The Great Zuchinni Race

Think outside the frying pan folks. Put away your food processor. Hold the juicer. This goes way beyond zucchini relish, zucchini gratin, zucchini salsa, or zucchini souffle. We are dawning a new day of usefulness for the piles of oversized zucchini in your garden. Brought to you by some super creative people at the Boulder Creek Hometown Fair Dallin and I saw with our very own eyes the first ever (cue drumroll and obnoxious gameshow announcer voice) GREAT ZUCHINNI RACE! Yup, that's right for a small fee your child can give new life to a neglected garden veggie. Simply attach four wooden wheels and decorate your zuchinni-gone-racecar with an assortment of provided pipe cleaners, glitter, puff paint, tissue paper, and googly eyes. Finished specimen are then fitly equipped for the race they always dreamed of. It's the ten-minute or less pinewood derby for the green-thumb third grader. I call it dang cute.
