Portland, Ore. -- Pioneer Millworks is sponsoring Lovett Deconstruction’s 2nd Annual “Dropbox Derby,” Labor Day, September 3. The design-build competition will take place at the Eastbank Esplanade in Portland, Ore. Each year, 24 hours in advance of the competition, the year’s theme is announced to teams, including a list of salvaged materials the teams will be tasked with using in their designs. An array of food and festivities will occur as the audience watches the teams in action and bids on the final creations in a silent auction.
“We’re very excited that the proceeds from this year’s auction will go to the Oregon Tradeswomen Inc (OTI), an organization dedicated to women in the trades,” said Stephen Reichard of Lovett Deconstruction. “The Dropbox Derby celebrates sustainability and design in a friendly, fun and quintessentially Portland atmosphere.”
