Zucchini 500 @ Upper Merion Farmer Market

Children, 12-years of age and under, will create and decorate race cars using zucchini and UMFM-supplied wooden wheels and axles. Didn’t have time to pre-register? You will still be able to register and purchase your wheel kits ($2) at the market info booth on the day of the race! Decorations are supplied by UMFM on the day of the event, but participants are welcomed to decorate on their own, too. Zucchini must be purchased by the participant. Zucchinis will be available at the market to purchase from our farmers a few weeks leading up to the event and on the day of the race! The cars will  race in pairs down a 16-foot wooden ramp. Awards will be given out to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and honorable mention placements of the race. Participants will also be scored on their car’s decorations by our panel of judges. 1st place prizes will be given out in each of the following decorating categories; Best Decorated, Best Use of Veggies, Best Rep. of the Market, Most Colorful, Funniest, and Most original.
