2024-11-16 Kerrville Rally Olympics.

 Ever been to the Olympics or better yet, participated in them? The Texas Ramblin' Roses  had their own version of the Olympics at this rally. Our own Hilde Barnett orchestrated the whole event. Teams of 4 were set up.

It started with the great potato race. each team member had to carry a potato between their legs and drop it in the bucket without dropping it along the way. This was a case where having just a bit of extra padding could be a benefit, lol. Some of the potatoes rode significantly above the knees. Some of our members are just a little competitive so things were off to a good start.

Next up was a race involving balloons. The whole team had to move as one with a balloon between each member. No hands were allowed. I heard some teams counting cadence......we have a lot of retired military members.

I think the goal here was to get an object into the basket.

Shooting a "gun" requires a proper stance even when foam bullets are in play.

Hmmm, get the ball in the cup.

Pickle ball anyone?

I was right, get the ball in the basket!

And yes! There were trophies.

It was a fun time with lots of good natured sparring and heckling.
