04.28.09 | What can you CANstruct? Announcing Canstruction, 2009!

Canstruction is a design/build competition currently held in cities throughout North America. Teams compete to design and build giant structures made entirely from full cans of food. Since its inception, over 10 million pounds of food have been donated to aid in the fight against hunger. The Montana Food Bank Network is coordinating the first annual Canstruction event this coming July. The Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation would like to enter two Washington Companies teams. Although only 5 people can be building at one time, we would like to have as many people participate as possible in the preparation process.

Please join us for an informational meeting - Missoula GOB, Blackfoot Room, Wed., May 6 at 12:30 p.m. Pizza and pop provided!

Dates for the event include:

  • Build: Thursday, July 9 5:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.
  • Judging: Friday, July 10 9:00 a.m.
  • Awards: Friday, July 10 - 7:00 p.m.
  • Tear Down: Tuesday, July 14 8:00 p.m.

All events will take place at the Southgate Mall in Missoula.
