Previous Years’ Ideas

Winter fun

Idea:

After a winter storm, allow sledding or cross-country skiing for a limited period of time on certain unplowed city streets or even alleyways. Safety would have to be paramount.

Benefit:

Winter sliding/skiing on (appropriate) city streets or public ways would bring people out of their homes during those short, cold winter days and into public areas to play and exercise together.

Location:

Citywide, OldIdea.

World-Record Pie Fight

Idea:

We set a goal for a word-record breaking pie fight (more than 1,186 people) with smocks and at least one whip-cream pie to throw for every attendant. Could take place in a central park or plaza – anywhere with access to water to hose off afterward.

Benefit:

Many ages and people from different backgrounds come together over something we can all agree on: throwing pies is fun. Plenty of opportunity to visit local businesses afterward.

Location:

Don't Know, OldIdea.

Zine (Lowell)

Idea:

Neighborhood information zines about art, culture, politics, and hidden gems. (Photo: Patti Simpson)

Benefit:

Connecting citizens to information.

Location:

Citywide, OldIdea.
