Handcar Regatta

UPDATE!
The PD published an excellent little article, brimming with luminous photographs of the gallery.

Sonoma State University (SSU) shall be host to a vivacious exhibition featuring HAND-BUILT CONTRAPTIONS of competitive glory, large and not-so-large-scale ART works, plus actual festival PROPS and, of course, a jaunty array of well-attired lads and lasses we’ve come to adore at our fair festival known as The Great Handcar Regatta.
