CANdemonium
CANdemonium is a design and building competition benefiting Missoula Food Bank & Community Center. Local businesses, organizations and students are paired with architects and engineers to design and build giant structures made entirely from full cans of food. This year's theme is prehistoric/dinosaur themed - teams will create structures that look like they thundered straight out of prehistory. All food used in construction goes directly to the food bank to help serve the community. Teams build their canned structures along the walkways of Southgate Mall. Open to local businesses, organizations, school groups, fitness clubs, congregations, or anyone who'd like to support the food bank.
