Let's face it: It's a lot easier to embrace a Minnesota winter during a thaw in February. Nonetheless, the Art Sled Rally in Minneapolis this weekend really is one of those only in Minnesota events that makes you long to be outdoors, as depicted in this video by Chuck Tomlinson, posted today on MN Stories.

I think I liked the sliding six-pack best.

Just to be clear: I didn't do the video. It was Chuck Tomlinson.

Makes me want to get an entry into next year's. If only I had some artistic ability.

Thanks, Bob. Come make a sled next year. That crew can help you flesh out even a half-idea. Geniuses in cardboard, staples and duct tape.

Thanks Bob! We had a great time building it and then destroying it on the hill. :)

We loved being a part of the art sled rally, and really loved being able to relive the moment via this great little video. Well done Chuck. Julian and Shelly and Mark rock!
