1999 BOX CITY USA
A Jubilee Event in Downtown Montgomery, Alabama


Welcome to the 1999 Box City USA, where for the fifth consecutive  year the professional men and women of the Montgomery Chapter of the American Institute of Architects came to Jubilee CityFest relaxed and ready to enjoy and encourage the creative spirits in young and old.

This year we were placed in one large tent near the Civic Center Entry.  Despite slightly cloudy conditions later in the afternoon a long day's work resulted in some wonderfully creative box building designs.  It's hard to say who gets the most enjoyment out of this annual event, the children, their parents and friends, or the professional designers themselves.  Between the joy of creativity and the good works of helpful hands there was plenty of excellent work created.  Here see for yourself and next year come participate for yourself.  No kids? Ok, I think there were plenty to go around.  Maybe some parents will let you assist.

Again  we're also proud to present for your enjoyment our Box City Web Page recording the blessed event.    So sit back, grab your mouse and join us now as we lead you through some of highlights from this year's Box City, USA.


On the inside of a ring of tables the design professionals in their grubbies are ready to assist!  Dawn on the left there in the overalls won the honor of having her movable sandbox playplace built for Kidfest. We'll show you pictures of that later.  Parents, kids, and interested onlookers all enjoy the fun.  In the middle is a group of tables with all the materials bought from the fees collected last year.  That includes paints, construction paper, pipe cleaners, glue, paste, scissors, and anything else the shopping committee can thing of to add to the building supply piles.
