About Sponsor:
Pepsi is a carbonated soft drink that is produced and manufactured by PepsiCo. Created and developed in 1898 and introduced as "Brad's Drink", it was later renamed as Pepsi-Cola on June 16, 1903. Pepsi was first introduced as "Brad's Drink" in New Bern, North Carolina, United States, in 1898 by Caleb Bradham, who made it at his home where the drink was sold. It was later labeled Pepsi Cola, named after the digestive enzyme pepsin and kola nuts used in the recipe.
About Property:
da Vinci Days is Corvallis, Oregon's annual celebration of art, science, and technology. It is held on the third weekend in July; most events take place on or near the Oregon State University campus. Like its namesake Leonardo da Vinci, the festival embraces a wide variety of subjects, from creative expression to engineering. The highlight of da Vinci Days is the Kinetic Sculpture Race. The kinetic sculptures are all human-powered, and each team is judged on both costumes and theme and the vehicle's ability to negotiate courses such as a mud bog and a float down the river. Other features of da Vinci Days include a film festival, live musical performances, and activities and displays courtesy of OSU's science and engineering departments.
