small town fun

[deere755]

I just got home from our annual spores and more festival. This year they decided to have a bed race and our Fire dept. entered a team and I was one of the team members. I had never heard of such an event and had no clue what to expect. The bed looked like a normal bed but with caster wheels. 4 people push while one rides on the bed. The one on the bed has to stay on and if he or she should fall off you have to start over. We pushed the bed through a long coarse to a point where we were handed sheets and pillow cases. This is where we had to make the bed with the rider on the bed. After this was completed we had to push the bed though a bunch of turns and back to the finish line. I can't wait till next year to do it all again. We brought home a 2nd place plack to hang in the fire station. Its the little corny things like this that make small town life so much fun.

There's a town a little farther north from where I am, still in Vermont, that has outhouse races on July 4th. New outhouse not "used" I hear it's very popular but I've never been.

I like the Seneca Lake Whalewatch Festival held each summer in Geneva, New York. Lots of food, music, cardboard boat races etc. I don't believe anyone has seen a whale yet however. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
