- We had an amazing turnout for the 1st annual Halloween Howl
and Great - Pumpkin Chase! With 44 registered chasers including a raft,
the Great - Pumpkin and the Grim Reaper had their work cut out for them!
The two - showed off their river skills paddling a tricky section of
river while - tossing pumpkins to the eager and enthusiastic crowd. And
the chasers - showed clever ingenuity in stashing pumpkins on their body
while still - hitting their lines! What a show for the crowd at Maytag! - - Just in case you're still wondering, as if their mad skills
didn't - give them away, our masked pumpkin leaders were none other
than - Heather and Nate Herbeck! They did a fantastic job providing
a - challenging chase and hitting those tight eddies! What a
team! - - Fun chase, big laughs, cold swims, and hot food....all with great friends! - That's what it's all about. Thanks for coming out! - - Oh, and the keys and throw rope found their way back to the
owners but - we do still have an unclaimed left handed size large NRS
glove. Give a - shout if it's yours. - - Here's a link to some shots of the chase. I'll post more as I get them. - |
