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.

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.
