Scooter Races ...

September 22, 2016

It was a busy day for the seniors at Joseph Creek Village ...

scooter races were being held indoors as the weather had turned ...

and they couldn't take the chance of it raining ...

This event was a fund raiser for Alzheimer Association ...

A silent auction was being held as well ...

The residents ... family and friends were treated to an indoor BBQ'd luncheon ...

of hamburger ... smokies ... and all the fixings ...

Music was played during the event ...

by the band "Side by Side" ...

 

After lunch ... the races were to begin in the foyer and hallways at the village ...

This event was open to anyone ... extra scooters were available ...

The first stop once leaving the starting line ... was backing into a parking spot ...

then continuing around the hallways ... to the other side where they had to backup ...

into another parking spot ... then off to the finish line ...

The catch to this timed event was that they had to carry a bowl with water in it ...

without spilling any on the course ...

Everyone had a great time ... there definitely are some crazy drivers out there ... !!!

I was surprised when I was called ... to return to Joseph Creek Village ...

to pick up prizes from the silent auction ...

I never expected to have gotten so many items ...

Let's just say I made a good contribution to a worthy cause ...
