Cantastic Creations
Idaho’s first can structure competition held at the Boise Towne Square this summer. Treasure Valley architectural firms and other local businesses
compete in designing and building sculptures made entirely of canned goods and other nonperishable food items. These canned good sculptures provide an engaging way for visitors to learn about the fight against hunger in Idaho and promote the presence and capabilities of various local architectural firms that pay to participate. The public have the opportunity to vote on their favorite. After the sculptures are dismantled, all canned goods are donated to the Idaho Food bank.
