Concert4aCause aka. mudball fest ~

This weekend was the Concert 4 a Cause at the Butternut Park ~ co-sponsored by the JPD Warrior Project and the Relay for Life Butternut Butterflies / American Cancer Society.

It's an annual fund raiser for the organizations ...
food / raffles / music / tractor-horse pull / minnow races / games / kickball tournament / horseshoe tournament ... a lot of fun for all ages.  They had to cancel the tractor-horse pull because of the weather.

 ~ minnow races ~ 
you can blow on the minnow to make it go; but you can't touch it




One of the top entertainments this year was the kickball tournament.  Take some enthusiastic players ... add a little rain on to an already rain soaked baseball field ... and it's a mud ball fest !!  There was a LOT of slipping and sliding going on. 






I don't think any of them minded the weather ... they were all having fun ...

Our team (the JPD Warriors) took second place ~
losing to the "clean team" the We've Got The Runs - yes ... that's the name of their team ...

the hand shakes and high fives amongst captains and players ...


a few nice "taps on the back" for a job well done ... "did you really think you were getting off that field in a clean shirt??"

does anybody have some shampoo?

~ the cousins on opposing teams ~
laughing their heads off

a little mud wrestling 
Who's the dirty one now ??...
... looks like you "Catman"... lol
Oh oh ... I see trouble brewing amongst our crew ...

What are those girls up to ... besides laughing hysterically ...
I don't think anyone is going home clean ...

There was a lot of laughs and it was ton's of fun ... thankfully I was only a spectator :)

Until next time ...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.

  3. I'm cringing at the mud and the shoes that will never be the same again! However, back in the day I would have been game, probably barefooted.
