As part of the festivities for Strawberry Days, our local Kiwanis Club hosts an afternoon of Elementary school relay races--4th, 5th, and 6th grade teams from each of our local schools run against each other. then the school with the most wins is awarded a couple hundred dollars from the Kiwanis. Win-Win situation, right? Well, it is until the "unofficial" race is held--after the kids run and while the scores are tallied. The Kiwanis themselves made a team and raced the kids--whomever wanted to race the grown-ups.
Tons-Oh-Fun!
Mister LE heads off from the start, catching up to the poor little girl in the next lane.
Then docker and loafer clad, Gentleman Jeff, hands off to Miss Diana--who runs in a t-shirt and skirt.
And finally the anchor man is Dear Friend Garth. What a trouper. His cap aerodynamically reversed so he can "run like the wind"! Remember, this is against little kids.
Well, from this shot you can see Mr Garth didn't win outright, but he gave a good showing. I think if it were a horse race, you could have said he "placed".
Maybe that would have won you some money.
But it was worth whatever you'd have paid the horse racing enthusiast to see the Grown-Ups come in #2 to the kids. With another set of kids a close 3rd.
I am so easily amused.
