I, Zeb the Duck, and Soapy Smith Duck went to the Great Zucchini Race.

Wow! The Great Zucchini Race

Boulder Creek Hometown Festival was Labor Day Weekend. We had never seen zucchini races before. They are fun!

Human kids pick a large zucchini. Then they get wheels and decorate the zucchini.

Decorating the zucchini

Here are some; we liked them all.

Work in progress

The completed zucchinis and young owners, start at the top of this slope. At the designated time, the board is lifted and the zucchinis race down the slope.

And the race begins

It is so much fun to decorate a zucchini and also fun to watch the races.

Many decorated zucchinis

The Boulder Creek Hometown Festival hosted the farmer’s market on Saturday.

These vegetables look so good.

Yum

We enjoyed some Saturday night.  Very tasty.   The flowers were pretty also.

We like flowers

This festival had the regular wonderful stuff:  great food, live bands, hula-hoops, face painting and more. But the new thing for these ducks was the zucchini race.

So many huge zucchinis

As summer comes to an end, we hope you visited festivals. If you are near Boulder, Colorado, this festival is going on today, Monday, September 1.  Spend some time here and enjoy Colorado festivals.  There will be more autumn festivals. Attend a festival near you and you will have a great day.
