utabaga Queens are excited to be hosting the Rutabaga Ball live in the Big Top Circus tent on the Creamery lot in Arcata, CA on Saturday, May 21st. This beloved, annual tradition will feature the musical stylings of DJ Joe-E and, of course, the talented Rutabaga Queen contestants. This is an all ages event, tickets are $16, available pre-sale at bit.ly/RutaBall22, or at the door, and masks are required. This is a fundraiser for the Kinetic Grand Championship, which takes place over Memorial Day weekend. So, come support Kinetics and have a great time! In 1973, "friend of Hobart" and general oddball Barbara Ludwig decided that the Kinetic Race needed a reigning monarch and declared herself "Rutabaga Queen." Since that legendary day, there have been dozens of raucous royals who have made it their duty to follow the cardinal rule of Rutabaga-ing: Have FUN! … almost to the point of obnoxiousness.
