The Camden Snow Bowl hosted its third annual Cardboard Box Derby this past Saturday March 21. A spitting snowy day made for a slower run down the slopes, but that didn’t stop the Cardboard Warriors. This under-the-radar event has all of the costumes and creativity of the US National Toboggan Races.

The winners of the Cardboard Derby were:

• Most in a Box (10 people) — Compass Rose Preschool

• Most Enthusiastic — Wiscasset Flyer

• Best Costume — Ghost Busters

• Most Creative — St. George's Dragon

• Most Team Spirit — Pecking Penguins

• 2nd — S.S. Christmas Spirit
• 3rd — Slip Sliding Penguin
