| The next raciest artistic event in Kingston is scheduled for this summer on Sunday, August 23, 2009 at 1:00pm 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 Markertek, 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. And remember, it is all down hill from here! |
