Zucchini 500 Races at Magnolia



This past Saturday was the annual Zucchini 500 Race event at the Magnolia Farmers' Market. Kids decorate zucchinis with wheels and racing stripes, among other things, and then they speed them down a zucchini-sized racetrack.

The occasion always draws lots of kids to the market, and keeps them busy and entertained. Molly, the market manager, engineers the event at this venue, and also at a handful of other locations over the course of the season. She probably knows more about the aerodynamics of zucchini than any person on the planet.
