# Event Details

- **Event Description**: WHAT IS SCRAPFEST?

In case this is your first time here, welcome! Here's how ScrapFest works. Teams get 1 hour to pick up to 500 lbs of scrap metal for the Large category, 250 lbs for the Small category, and now a 5-gallon bucket for the Extra Small category from Friedland Industries in Old Town Lansing, Michigan in early May. They then get 1 month to make a sculpture using the scrap material they picked up from Friedland.

In mid-July, we line Turner Rd in Old Town Lansing, Michigan with all of the sculptures for the ScrapFest festival (it's free to enter). The sculptures are juried (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and People's Choice) for the Large and Small categories, and we'll have a People's Choice award for the Extra Small category. All of the sculptures are sold via silent auction.

There's also incredible booth artists, who have a scrap material/repurpose focus to their artwork, live music, the ReFashion Show (a showcase of garments made from scrap fabric), family activities, a new welding demonstration area, food trucks, and more!

ScrapFest started as a simple sculpture competition, and has grown into a full festival that people come from all over the world to see. We hope you can join us!

THIS YEAR'S DESIGN

While we have our main ScrapFest logo, we've also had a separate logo/design that we use for every new ScrapFest. Carrying on with a tradition we started in recent years, we used one of the sculptures from last year as the inspiration for this year's design.

For ScrapFest 16, we used "Scraptus" by Bob Welton from last year as the inspiration for this year!

Bob Welton is a phenomenal artist and nuclear certified welder who has participated in ScrapFest since the beginning. Bob worked at Michigan State University's Cyclotron for around 40 years, along MSU's Facility for Rare Isotope Beams prior to its opening.

Thank you, Bob, for allowing us to be inspired by your work!
