Kiwanis of Hailey and Rotarun Ski Area will host cardboard craftspeople of all ages for a day of racing on snow in the Kiwanis Snow Box Derby, set for Saturday, March 2, at the ski area west of Hailey. 

Win, place or show medals will be awarded for each division, Junior (5-12), Teen (13-17), Adult (18-plus), and Business, along with the Most Creative Sled and the Most Inspirational Rider.

Past entries can be viewed hanging from the rafters at L.L. Greens in Hailey. Cardboard cameras, trains, dinosaurs, race cars, corn dogs, various tools and even a Sphinx have all made the journey in years past.
