Cool As A Moose reclaimed its title as having the fastest bed on Park Row, after winning the Brunswick Downtown Association’s fourth annual Rolling Slumber bed racing event on Saturday. Eight teams competed in both the race and in the judging for the most-spirited entry, which this year was won by the Independence Association.

Teams raced two at a time down 150 feet of Park Row before reversing direction to the finish line.

Cool As A Moose had been the reigning champion before being bested by Wendy Herrick Floral Designs last year. This year, fortunes were reversed when Cool As A Moose defeated Wendy Herrick in the finals.

Both beds and participants were decked out in costumes.

The event started in 2011 as a way to get people to shop at downtown retailers. This year’s event coincided with the BDA’s Early Bird shopping promotion.
