Build Your Sled for Chestertown’s Krazy Downhill Derby
Get ready for greatness and construct your winning entry for the Town of Chester’s Downhill Derby.
Chestertown’s annual Krazy Downhill Derby is one of the highlights of the winter season. And Lil’ ADKers are welcome to get in on the action.
The big event is on Saturday, February 23, 2024, so the North Warren PTO is sponsoring a Build Your Cardboard Sled event on Wednesday, February 21, at the Dynamite Hill Warming Hut in Chestertown.
The North Warren PTO provides materials free of charge — boxes, tape, markers, etc. Participants are encouraged to bring their own supplies, too. Lil’ ADKers are known to be a Klever Krew, so we’re sure they’ll have plenty of Kreative ideas for their Derby-winning Kardboard Konveyance (okay, that was some award-winning alliteration and right there).
The workshop is from Noon to 2 pm downstairs at the Dynamite Hill Warming Hut on Dynamite Hill Road off Route 8, less than a mile west of the North Warren Central School.
We can’t wait to see what those awesome Lil’ ADKers come up with!

Show your love for the Adirondacks.
It’s early morning, and the mist hovers above the glassy surface of your favorite Adirondack lake, undisturbed but for the rhythmic dip of your paddle. The only sound is the gentle ripple of water breaking against your canoe. The air is crisp, carrying the scent of pine and the promise of another perfect day in the Adirondacks. Your worries are left ashore, traded for the serenity that only paddling these waters can provide.
You’re not just wearing any shirt. You’re donning an invitation to adventure, to explore the thousand lakes and secret inlets of the North Country.
Our Adirondack Paddler’s Long-Sleeve Tee is made of the softest cotton. It's perfect for layering or wearing on its own. It’s designed for those who know the joy of a paddling in the Adirondacks, who’ve felt the thrill of a canoe gliding silently through mirror-still waters.
This ultra-cotton long-sleeve tee is perfect for Adirondack paddlers of all kinds—canoers, kayakers, SUPs, guide boaters and more. It is a clear comfort winner in any season.
There are no side seams for a relaxed fit. The shoulders are taped for improved durability. We love that the cotton used for these shirts is environmentally friendly.
Check the size chart; friends and family tell us this long-sleeved tee may run a little small.
