Chair Luge

in downtown Gardner. Settle in along Parker Street for an afternoon of wild and wacky racing — all vehicles began their lives as chairs … but oh, how far they have come! (If you want to race a luge, sign up is open to the day of the event, but don’t wait as there are limited spots. Visit gardnerale.com for entry forms.) If all that racing action makes you hungry and thirsty, don’t worry — the Gardner Ale House beer garden has just what you need.
