 John Schumacher served as auctioneer with Aaron Hinkelman displaying items up for bid. Bo Rose and Austin Sonnen were spotters as was Don Schumacher who is behind John.  Father Paul Wander checks out a young ladies bingo card. Adam Forsmann was one of several bingo callers throughout the day.  The Kiddie-Car Merry-Go-Round is still popular with the youngsters after over 50 years.  With their matching outfits we're guessing these two young ladies are sisters as they enjoy the little merry-go-round.  The barrel train had a full load on this trip.  The bouncy house was busy all day long.  A couple of young men try out the sumo suits. These outfits were less popular as the day warmed up.  The street sports started with the footraces. Shown are the youngest group.  The older groups of racers had to race up and back.  It was an early crash i nthe 3-legged race for the youngest group.  The winners in this group of 3-legged racers.  A couple of crashes in the 3-legged race with one youngster trying to drag his partner along with him.  It was a photo finish in this 3-legged race.  It looks like a close battle in the wheelbarrow race with one pair having crashed out.  The first round of young egg tossers went without incident but they dropped out rather quickly after this.  Everyone behind him cringes as this youngsters egg exploded as he tried to catch it.  Eric Nuxoll had his egg go splat on a toss from his son Sebastian.  It was a record group of competitots in the younger group of watermelon eaters. The young man in the center with the flag shirt wound up winning.  Several past champions are shown in the open watermelon eating competition. Eric Nuxoll, a multiple time winner won again this time over his son Sebastian, who won a few years ago and Austin Sonnen who is also a previous winner.  A young lady draws out the raffle winners with help fro Don Schumacher. John Schumacher read off the winners' names. |
