<p><font size="4" face="Verdana" style="font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(0,0,0)">I forgot to mention on the net
tonight an event happening in Lowell that I believe a lot of
folks would find interesting.</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Verdana" style="font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(0,0,0)">The Lowell Kinetic Sculpture Race
is one of my favorite events of the year! It is a race of
all-terrain human powered sculptures. Yeah, that's a mouthful --
easier to visit their website to get a sample of the madness!
<a href="https://www.lowellkinetic.com/" target="_blank" style="font-family:Verdana">https://www.lowellkinetic.com/</a></font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Verdana" style="font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(0,0,0)">They race through the streets of
Lowell, through a 'mud pit' and then more roads and eventually
down a section of the Merrimack River before returning the
start/finish line in Lowell. The machines are shining examples
of creative engineering with a huge dose of whimsy. Most of the
16 teams are local but there are few visitors from other
sculpture races in the country.</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Verdana" style="font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(0,0,0)">I've had the pleasure of being a
volunteer photographer for the event since it's inception. It
is incredible fun and will def. appeal to the engineers as well
as the wide-eyed child in all of us. You can see some of my
images from last year's race here ( <a href="https://bit.ly/4gqdTTQ" target="_blank" style="font-family:Verdana">https://bit.ly/4gqdTTQ</a> ) and
here ( <a href="https://bit.ly/4mmJ97J" target="_blank" style="font-family:Verdana">https://bit.ly/4mmJ97J</a> ).</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Verdana" style="font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(0,0,0)">I'll be there --I hope to see you
as well!</font></p>
