CANstruction
The results are in, but there's still more time to view the amazing CANstruction sculptures
while they are on display at the RXR Plaza in Uniondale. The Island's most creative food drive brings together engineers, designers, students, and professionals to compete in a creative food drive.
Each team constructed a structure from donated canned goods and then raced the clock to finish it in time. At the end, we had 10 amazing structures that defined generosity and creativity. The show is open to the public until November 26. Stop by with some donations of your own and bring the whole family.
