A Peep at Low-Tech Community Building

OK, this isn’t even remotely an electronic application.  But, I believe that it has a certain “SPLAT-iness” to it:  Peeps Dioramas! 

Apparently, Washington DC and Denver and other communities around the U.S. have annual contests inviting folks to make dioramas with Peeps--those sugary marshmallow candies that we see every spring.  Many of the prize-winning entries are pictured on the web, ranging from artistic knockoffs to pithy political examples and film scenarios. 

Coming soon to a library near you?  Might a contest and display of dioramas bring folks to your library?

Have a peep at these examples:
