The next raciest
artistic event in Kingston is scheduled for this summer on
Sunday, August
17, 2008 when the 14th Annual Artists’ Soapbox Derby
careens inexorably down
Broadway towards the Rondout Creek.
This
eclectic event is presented by Donskoj & Company Gallery and the
City of Kingston
with sponsorship by WKZE
Radio, Chronogram
Magazine ,
Ulster
Publishing and
Partsearch
Technologies is featuring over
$2,000.00 in cash prizes for our first, second and third place finishes
in both the youth, family group and adult divisions. Judging
is based on a combined score of creativity and engineering.
This is not a race.
The first
year’s event in 1995 attracted over 500 spectators for eight entries;
while last
year’s event drew over 8,000 spectators for 42 entries. This
year’s event should prove
to be even better than ever as there is plenty
of momentum.
On your mark,
get set and go start building your soapbox. If you wish to participate,
sponsor
a soapbox, donate a prize or for more information call the
Soapbox Derby hot line at

And remember, it is all
down hill from here!
