are cardboard, duct tape, and glue. Red Lodge's Cardboard Classic is one of the main events at its annual Winter Carnival, a good timin', Music-On-Main style event. This years' theme was "Camelot," We entered the "unlimited category": our sled had to weigh more than 200 pounds and hold four adults. First prize was $200. The value of the duct tape, cardboard, cutting utensils, and our collective time far outweighed $200. So do incentives really matter? This makes me wonder at the value in monetary incentives versus incentives of other types. In this instance, the incentives were the thrill, the memories, and the glory. Priceless.

Red Lodge, Montana's Winter Carnival and the Cardboard Classic
Currently, I have five hundred pounds of cardboard sitting in my garage. No, I'm not anticipating some imminent rapture or apocalypse and the need for some versatile shelter materials. Some of my rather debaucherous friends and I entered a contest called the "Cardboard Classic": a sled-building competition where the only materials you may utilize in construction
are cardboard, duct tape, and glue. Red Lodge's Cardboard Classic is one of the main events at its annual Winter Carnival, a good timin', Music-On-Main style event.
