Ostrich Festival

Chandler, Arizona

At this annual bash celebrating the southern Arizona tradition of ostrich ranching, revelers can cheer on their preferred bird during a 50-minute ostrich race and then down an ostrich burger—presumably one not made of the losers.

鴕鳥節(jié)

在亞利桑那州舉行

一年一度的美國亞利桑那州南部的鴕鳥狂歡節(jié)上，狂歡者可以在限時50分鐘的鴕鳥賽跑中為他們寵物加油，并得到一個鴕鳥漢堡——不過那可不是用輸?shù)舯荣惖镍r鳥肉做成的。

World Championship Punkin Chunkin,

Bridgeville，Delaware

How far can you chunk a pumpkin? Each November, competitors in this contest use catapults, centrifugal spinners, and other homemade contraptions to launch an eight- to ten-pound pumpkin as far as mechanically possible. The record: 4,483.51 feet

扔南瓜世界錦標賽

在特拉華州的布里奇維爾舉辦

你能把一個南瓜扔多遠呢？每年的11月份，參賽者都會用一些自制的工具，比如大彈弓滑輪等把重達8磅到10磅的南瓜盡可能地向遠處拋。目前的最佳紀錄是4,483.51英尺。

Kinetic Sculpture Race

Baltimore, Maryland

Is it art—or transportation? Both, it turns out, when human-powered sculptures cross sea, mud, and sand in an eight-hour, 15-mile race along the city’s Inner Harbor each May. Past award winners have included two Elvis impersonators in a car nicknamed Hunk a Hunk of Burnin’ Junk.

動感雕塑大賽

在馬里蘭州的巴爾的摩舉行

那是個藝術(shù)品還是個交通工具呢？答案：都是。每年5月參賽者要沿著市內(nèi)海灣大約15英里的距離，用人力打造的工具在8小時內(nèi)穿越海洋，泥地和沙地。上屆獲勝者是兩位貓王的模仿者，他們駕駛一輛由廢舊物品組裝的名叫“帥哥”的小汽車奪冠。

Sputnikfest

Manitowoc, Wisconsin

In September 1962, a chunk of glowing debris from Sputnik 4—one of the first Earth-orbiting satellites, launched by the Soviet Union—fell from the sky onto a street in downtown Manitowoc. The Russians reclaimed the piece, but the town hosts an annual festival to commemorate its arrival. Highlights: a Miss Space Debris contest—costumes made out of aluminum foil are common—and an Artta This World art fair.

人造衛(wèi)星節(jié)

在威斯康星州的馬尼托沃克舉行

1962年9月，人造衛(wèi)星4號的殘骸從太空墜落到馬尼托沃克的街道上，這個衛(wèi)星是前蘇聯(lián)發(fā)射的第一批人造地球衛(wèi)星中的一個。雖然后來俄國人要回了殘骸，但是這個小鎮(zhèn)每年都要紀念一下這顆衛(wèi)星的造訪。注意！這不僅是為紀念一顆隕落衛(wèi)星的競賽，因為參賽者要身著由鋁箔做成的服裝，更是一場世界藝術(shù)盛宴。

Frozen Dead Guy Days

Nederland, Colorado

When Grandpa Bredo Morstoel died in 1989, his cryogenically minded family packed him in dry ice and placed him in a shed to await a cure for death. This annual March party honors him with a hearse parade, kid coffin races, and frozen turkey bowling.

冰封死人節(jié)

在科羅拉多州的尼德蘭小鎮(zhèn)舉行

當格蘭德.布雷多的爺爺在1989去世時，其崇尚低溫生活的家人(編者按：布雷多家族來自挪威)把他用干冰包裹起來安置在棚屋里，期待未來的某一天出現(xiàn)起死回生的方法。為表示尊敬，在每年三月舉行的派對上都會出現(xiàn)靈車游行，嬰兒棺材賽跑和冷凍火雞保齡球比賽等活動。
