All Mo Bros are invited to participate in the Picture Line Up at 5pm sharp at the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditroum in Niagara Falls for your chance to win the bragging rights of a lifetime. The Mo Bro with the strangest Mo stash will win a Night’s stay at the Great Wolf Lodge Waterpark Resort in Niagara Falls.

If you can’t make it to Ripley’s this Wednesday, you can also qualify for prizes such as attraction tickets, Ripley’s swag and donation prizes for your fundraising by emailing photos and video of your Movember Mo to Ripley’s Niagara prior to November 30^th.

posted in: Blog

Artist Pete Fecteau has made a large mosaic of Martin Luther King Jr. from 4,242 Rubik’s cubes. The art piece has been on display at Art Prize in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Believe It or Not! Dream Big” was a year-long project in which Pete created a mosaic of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. using 4,242 Rubik’s Cubes. For a short time it was the world’s largest Rubik’s Cube mosaic. He created it with the help of YouCanDoTheRubiksCube, First Park Congregational Church, The Student Advancement Foundation and Cooley Law School. It taught the audience about creatively using art in traditional learning disciplines like math and history, diversity, social justice and learning disabilities. It was entered in the 2010 ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan and made it to the top 50 out of 1,700+ other submissions.

Check out the finished product! Amazing!!
