Scooter Rodeo ...

May 12, 2015

Today was the day for the Grand Opening of the new Scooter Room ...

at Joseph Creek Village ...

There was a delicious BBQ of hamburgers ... hotdogs ... salads and more ...

all before the Scooter Rodeo would take place ...

Making preparations for the race ... had few struggles with moms helmet ...

but we managed to get it on with her sunglasses ...

Both mom and Burk decorated their helmets ...

mom with a flower and Burk with his Whirly Windmill ...

hoping to get some extra wind power to win the race ...!!!

Let the race begin ... best time wins ...

one lap around the circle and then backing into 2 spots ...

before reaching the finish line ...

There were a lot of laughs ...

watching the Cruisers go around the track ...

some with older scooters that were running at snail speed ...

and needed some assistance ...

Others ... like the Mayor ...

maneuvering a new 4-wheel drive Scooter ...

The ladybug landed on Joe ... so I took it and gave it to mom for good luck ...

The last participant ... came into the race a little late ...

should say ... staggering when out of his wheelchair ...

He was taunting the RCMP ...

who was there to start each race ... he was wondering if he would be in violation ...

with drinking and driving ...

George finally made it back into his cruiser ...

and proceeded to go around the track ... the WRONG WAY ...

almost a collision when he reached the starting point ...

where another resident wanted to take part in the race ...

A great time was had by all ... plus the whole event was televised ...!!!

Should be a hoot to watch ...!!!
