The new mayor of Baltimore is exercising extra caution and not allowing the AVAM Kinetic Sculpture Race to take place this year due to the ongoing pandemic. With the 2020 postponement, this puts three years between our momentous 2019 win and our next opportunity to compete in 2022. This does afford us lots of time to continue to build our "wild thing to be even more brilliant", as noted by a seasoned Quacker!
