That is where all he food and big top along with the stage is. I stopped by Fat Hogs of Indy and said hi to Curly and his crew! and several other venders I Know! including the ones who make my Philly cheese steak sandwich! and of course I had to go make my annual donation to abate of Indiana by buying tickets for the bike raffle, like most Rallies I go to there is a family Reunion like atmosphere the first day where we catch up with friends we only see a couple of times a year. then I found out distinct 13 lost one of there members "Happy" Herb Vore a couple of days before the rally and his funeral was on Friday so District three had agreed to switch time slots with them! for the games and arm wrestling! so the guys could go to the funeral! so the arm wrestling was on sat And the games were on Friday! it made it a bit harder to get pic of every thing but I did get most! I hope I didn't leave out anything too important! I did get pic of a short memorial service on Thursday evening there in region 13 area by one of the Christian riders! from there I headed around the area and took pic and visited with a lot of people I have made friends with over the last 7 years I have been going to the boogie along with a few I met this year! pretty soon I had been over under the big tip shooting the mechanical bull when noticed the bands had quit and the crowd had thinned out a bunch! low and behold it was 1:30 in the morning I got my bike and rode back to camp and hit the rack for the night! |
Well I got up friday morning and had
already shot 300+ pictures of course I got some of the bands the
night before and so forth I found some coffee and a couple of donuts at
the Christian tent, and goofed off a little bit and toured the camp
grounds then it was time for the games! I had to do a little talking to
get one of the girls to play in the winnie bite contest she had never
tried it before and she didn't think she could do it. I finally convinced
her I could stop under it and let her get a bite. well we didn't win but
she did get a bite Twice ![]() I think she is hooked because it was fun! then we did the slow race and I let some one beat me and I got second place but it was a race to the end! he didn't get it cheap! then I think the blind find and water balance, and lots of fun a little fun pic then over to the hole shot contest! and most of them need to come to Okla. and watch the dirt drags! and race in the run what you brung category. they would come home with a new out look! it was however fun to watch? oh wait before every one gets mad at me for bragging on my home boys Okla. ABATE needs to come here and see how you guys put on a party! when I got done shooting the hole shot I made another trip around through the camp ground to catch some of the partying! which is always fun. sometimes it is sitting under an umbrella with friends or family sipping a cool one or cooking for the crowd in camp while the girls do a little showing off! |
