The Blairstown Bed Races were a community favorite back in the '90's that long-time residents fondly remember. Bed races originated in Knaresborough, UK in 1966, and have since popped up all around the world.
The Blairstown Fall Festival event is free community event. In addition to the beloved bed races, the event will also feature local crafters/vendors, food trucks, live music, a pumpkin pavilion (paint a pumpkin provided by Race Farms) and new to this year a scarecrow and carved pumpkin contest! Attendance and parking are FREE!
Bed Racer Teams are comprised of five members, one person in the bed and four runners providing the horsepower. Participants must be at least 18 years of age or have guardian’s consent. Beds are provided by the BEC and can be decorated on the spot to match your team's spirit!
