A food drive combined with a sculpture contest is both entertaining and helpful for the community. A team of Kentucky middle schoolers won the county’s “Canstruction” competition by building a sculpture of a shark biting through a surfboard.
The Oldham County Middle School students entered the 2023 Canstruction Oldham County contest by crafting their shark from 2,090 tuna cans, 172 Chef Boyardee pasta cans and 400 bottles of water.
The food drive and sculpture contest had multiple categories that the team nearly swept. They were able to lock up winning the titles of most cans, best original design, people’s choice, structural integrity and best use of labels.
Not to worry, all the items used in the sculpture were donated to a good cause. The canned food products and bottled waters used in the competition were all donated to the HighPoint food kitchen to support local families in need.
