The start of October can only mean one thing: Canstruction Boston is upon us! This past Saturday, October 4th, Nitsch joined 12 other companies to build impressive structures out of cans of food! The annual design-build competition allows teams to have fun while putting together a huge donation of canned goods for the Merrimack Valley Food Bank.
With this year’s theme of Games, Nitsch paid tribute to an iconic game show by building a Wheel of Fortune set made entirely from canned goods! This culinary colossus provides 3,300 cans (3,026 pounds) of pantry staples. The puzzle has a few letters filled in to invite you to play; the Category is “What Does Canstruction Do?”
Want to see this year’s Canstruction Boston sculptures? You can see them in person at 280 and 290 Congress Street (Atlantic Wharf) in Boston, MA through October 24th – be sure to check them out!
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to vote HERE for your favorite design (especially if it’s Wheel!) – all votes must be received by noon on Wednesday, October 15th.
Want to contribute to the Merrimack Valley Food Bank directly? Canstruction Boston is raising funds for the MVFB and you can donate HERE.
Watch Nitsch’s structure go up in this time-lapse video of our build:
