If you’ve always wanted to decorate a vegetable and race it down a track, now’s your chance. The Zucchini 500 comes to the Phinney Farmers Market on Friday.

Shoppers of all ages can build their own squash race car and compete with other veggie vehicles. A zucchini, wooden wheels, racing adornments and an official time trial track will be provided. The races take place from 3:00 – 6:00 pm under the market’s special events tent. The event is free and open to the public.
