  • Saturday, February 27, 2027 | First Annual Winter Bash

    Things are about to get a little gnarly! As part of Red Lodge's first annual Winter Bash, join us for the Bob Gnarly Mannequin Launch!

    Get creative, get a little crazy, and build your very own mannequin sled for a wild ride! We're looking for the most outrageous, creative, and entertaining entries. Will your mannequin fly through the air, stick the landing, or end up in a spectacular crash? That's all part of the fun!

    • Mannequin registration must be completed by 5:30 PM.

    • All registered mannequins must participate in the sled parade.
