All indications are the day was a great success! The weather was cooperative, warm and sunny with a light breeze. We had 32 children and 31 adults register as competitors for the various events, plus assorted spectators for an estimated attendance of over 100 people.
The most popular single event, by competitors, was the Sr. canoe race (20) followed closely by the Jr. Swim Race (18). The number of kayaks pulled up on shore equalled the number of canoes, showing just how popular these nimble little craft have become in recient years.
The chefs served up 12 dozen hot dogs and 9 cases of soft drinks / bottled water.
The most popular land game for the children was, as always, the sponge toss:
