Oaktober Fest and the Zucchini Race...

I took James and Katie to Oak Park's Oaktober Fest yesterday afternoon.  This is our annual pre-fall street fest with live music, food and Zucchini races.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Essentially, the kids get a vegetable, 4 wheels and all of the crafty stuff that they could need to decorate their own race Zucchinis. 

James spent a good 45 minutes getting his just right while I watched Katie dance in the street.  Here is the action of the race.  Evidently, pipe cleaners decrease the coefficient of drag.
