Banana Boat Races 4200 Detail
 
Michigan is a summer wonderland of water, cars and fun. Kids splash in backyard wading pools. Boys spray their girlfriends with garden hoses. Men cobble old car bodies onto the longest, sleekest fruit and then attach sails on top. They haul these homemade boats to the Detroit River. In 1954, it’s time. The World’s First FruitCar Banana Boat Races on Water!

I can be serious or playful, thoughtful or lighthearted.
I seek truth or spin tales. I generate history, fantasy, even mystery.
All with cloth. That is amazing.
