Living in Maine affords it’s residents numerous opportunities to attend fabulous competitive events. There are lobster trap runs, belt sander races, frying pan hurls, skiing Santa races, rubber duckie races and pumpkin drops. We even host the North American Wife Carrying contest.
But this year I missed a new one.
I missed it!
The social event of the season…. and I missed it.
Who knew you could have so much fun with a zucchini?
Besides that guy.
And okay, maybe her.
But either way, I missed a stellar event and will have to be sure and mark my calendar for next year.
Zucchini racing.
Coming to a track near you.
River's world..... 
Zucchini car racing. Hilarious! I might steal that idea for my son’s craft activities.

Zucchini bread people! Add chocolate chips and it’s really not that bad. Must we resort to making vehicles from them? Poor, misunderstood zucchini… Ugly stepsister of the vegetable family.

I don’t suppose we must, but it’s definitely blog worthy.

I like the idea of zucchini car races. Something for you to look forward to next year? Have to wonder if yellow squash car races will be added to the line-up… 🤔

How long does it take to train a zucchini for speed?

Never liked them before starting keto, but now, I’d rather eat them, thank you.
Food should be eaten, not played with.

Maybe they eat the winner…

They’d be more if: they would “mount” the winner and eat the losers. 😉

Well, at least it is another way a gardener to get rid of the excess zukes. Most of them have given all they can to their family and friends and fellow congregants, now everyone edges away from you when you approach them with a paper bag.
Make race cars out of them and give them away to the kid!
Brilliant!

And it’s probably the only time anyone is happy to see them coming…

I need to look into a Maine vacation. This sounds like the best thing ever. We went to Vermont last year and that place was boring as hell. If only I had known to hop over to Maine!
