Kid Race at Bike-a-Palooza

Kids of all ages gathered at Monk's House of Ale Repute in Sioux Falls for a biking charity event. Money generated from the event went toward the purchase of bicycles for kids who were in need of one. There was an excellent turnout, and I hope that it becomes an annual event. A few bands played and there were cycling events for children and adults.

I hung out to watch the kids run a race through a cone course. They pedaled to the end of the course and then had to weave through the cones in each direction and then race back to the finish line.

That's the event that I have photos for. To my fellow Lanehog bloggers: I tried to get pictures of everyone's kids, I'm sorry if I missed one. I think that I may have. I counted and didn't reach the total of junior bloggers that I was aware of.

Later in the day there were activities for adult enthusiasts. I left before they started, so hopefully I can take that in next year and wait for photos from others who were there. Events included a bicycle jousting competition, a clunker crit, a bicycle toss and more.

One person's trash is another's treasure.

I accompanied my husband to a you pull it junk yard north of Sioux Falls. We were going to run some other errands, so of course I didn't mind tagging along. He thinks that I just did it to humor him and get a lunch out. Well, that may be part of it. It should be noted, however, that I am easily amused and do generally like to hang out with him, whatever the project. :-)

But I digress. I did have my camera along and a few more shots of film to burn on a roll. It was a damp day. Nick went to pull a fuel line. I went to look for an interesting shot or two.

A Salute to my Grandfather

In such a sad moment, there are beautiful images. These photos maybe aren't exactly perfect, but I like them.

Keiser Farm Auction

I know some of the individuals in these photos. Hopefully the ones that I don't know won't mind that I'm sharing their image with you. I think that auctions in general are great people watching events. Buyers are out to find a deal and socialize with neighbors. They truly are things to experience.

Tulip Festival

There are a couple more Tulip Festival 2009 photos in the people album. You can find a link to it along the right.
