Hillsboro Haunting Monster Building Competition Kid Stuff
Event Description:
Main Street in historic downtown Hillsboro is gearing up for the popular Harvest Market, sponsored by Imagine Hillsboro, and this year’s event - set for Saturday, Oct. 5 - is shaping up to be spooktacular. Unique to the festival this year, local manufacturer Atlas 46 is teaming up with the City of Hillsboro to host the first-ever Hillsboro Haunting Monster Building Competition, where teams will battle head to head to design and build the best monster creation, with various great prizes up for grabs, including a $1,000 grand prize.
The monstrous event will feature two categories of competition – the Competitive Build providing skilled builders the opportunity to showcase their talents, and a Fun Family Build exposing future generations to the thrill of creating something from a pile of raw materials as they get a glimpse into the world of manufacturing. Area residents are invited to come out and cheer on their favorite team during the building event, which will take place in front of the Orpheum Theater along Main Street in downtown Hillsboro. The Fun Family Build will kick off the day’s festivities at 10 a.m., followed by the Competitive Build from 12 p.m. – 2 p.m.
While participants in the building competition are welcome to bring their own cordless tools on the day of the event, team members will only be allowed to use the materials provided to construct their monster, including wood, chicken wire, pool noodles, donated clothes, etc.
During the free Fun Family Build competition, teams of no more than four - including at least one adult and one child - will have one hour to construct their monster using precut materials only. Hand saws may be used as available by the teams. Contest winners will be decided by a team of judges, with the top three teams receiving a new, All American 75/25 Duffle Bag valued at $75. Teams will be allowed to take their creations home following the event, and team members age 12 and under will also get to keep their Atlas 46 apron provided to them at check-in.
Competitive Build teams must pay a $25 entry fee and are allowed a maximum of three members per team. Community cutting stations will be available for straight/angled cuts only (miter saws will be used), and volunteers will be available to make those cuts if needed. Monsters must be a minimum of four feet tall and free-standing. Winners of the Competitive Build contest will be decided by popular vote from event attendees, with First Place taking home the grand prize of $1,000. Second runner-up will be awarded a $250 gift card to Atlas 46 and third place will receive an Atlas 46 Quick Detach Yorktown Tool Roll valued at $135. Monster creations will be displayed at a local Hillsboro business through the month of October.
Pre-registration is required to participate in the Monster Building Competition and the deadline to register is Oct. 2. For additional questions or more information, visit www.hillsboromonster.com. For more information on the Harvest Market, visit Imagine Hillsboro on Facebook.
