Competition

Over the last month we've entered a few competitions starting with Ethan, Amelia and I entering projects in the Southern Iowa Fair. This week was registration for school, it's the same evening as our towns Sweet Corn Serenade, we make a evening of it and like to go up town for supper and to visit with friends. This year I remembered they did a pedal pull for kids, so three of the four participated in that. Finally yesterday Mark raced in his second hare scramble race. Ethan and I went along to cheer him on!
Ethan got Best of Show on his bird house, it was a kit he got for Christmas and put together himself.

Amelia got all blue ribbons on her crafts and a red ribbon for her flower.

Elijah couldn't fully touch the pedals, but wanted to do the pedal pull anyway!

Amelia got to pull in the rain!

Ethan got to use the biggest tractor, he placed 3rd.

There was a big crowd in Fremont yesterday for the Hare Scramble! I don't understand why so many people like to beat themselves and their bikes up riding hard through the woods on a very hot day!

Each rider puts a bar code sticker on their helmet and gets scanned in each time they cross the check point. Mark placed fourth in his class. Not to bad considering he broke his clutch handle on his last lap, 6 miles from the finish line deep in the woods!
