Featured Teapot Racer: Gerard the Garden Butler


Leena Nabulsi and her splendid teapot racer, "Gerard the Garden Butler" competed on day two of the Big River Steampunk Festival in Hannibal, Missouri.





Many of the people passing by the teapot racing display on Sunday, stopped to admire the beauty of this racer. The duct tape roses were a particular source of fascination.



The judges gave Leena high marks in every category, but had to make deductions for the times she touched her vehicle during the race.



This was the race where we started to wonder if the hot weather drains batteries, which continued to be suspected during subsequent races.



"Gerard the Garden Butler" also competed in the drag race. It did not win, getting off to a very slow start, but went straight, which was more than could be said about most of the contestants.
