Judges Canstruction 2016

Canstruction 2016 was a great success. From April 16th to April 24th, the Glenbrook Square Mall hosted 14 teams competing and building canned food structures for this year’s theme, “Cartoons.” From Ninja Turtles to Minions, and Scooby Doo to Peanuts, structures were displayed to hundreds of thousands of spectators who voted for their favorite designs. We welcomed four judges, Bill Hoover, COO of Community Harvest, Robbie Mack, Brand Manager for HOT 107.9, Michelle Ferro, Miss Three Rivers Festival, and Rhys Jones, Mechanical Engineer with Multimatic Indiana.
