Very Late Post - Silver Salmon Derby

 Sand Point has a Silver Salmon Derby every year. It's a huge community event and fundraiser for local agencies. The Derby is held at the Gear Locker. The Friday before the event starts, the high schoolers help the community by decorating and setting up things. 

This is a buoy that is hanging from the ceiling for the kids to have fun. I kept singing, "I came in like a wrecking ball."

90% of the students at the school made some sort of decoration for the event. 

It takes work to put all the decorations up. 

The kids took turns riding the buoy. You can't see it in the picture, but there was a band set up on the left hand side. They played Friday night for the adults. 

Emily and Abi volunteered their time at the snack shack. 

After the snack shack, they found time to hang out with friends and get their hair sprayed. 

Abi and her partner were prepared for the humpy toss. 

It's like an egg toss, but instead of an egg...

you toss a humpy. Abi and her partner won a $25 gift card to the toy store. 

We started looking for harbour seals. 

This is the city docks. We were waiting for the fireworks. 

Sometimes I love just sitting and looking at the world around me. It is beautiful here. 

Our kids love having lots of friends here. 

This is the city docks later in the evening. 

A very nice teacher left us this whiteboard in our apartment. It has come in handy. 

Georgia doing the watermeleon eating contest. 

She did not waste time. 

She nearly ate the rind. 

and won some candy money!

Abi and her pals tried to do it, but didn't win. 

Toby was beat by a girl. 

Time for the pie. 

A face like that and she still didn't win. 

Abi tried her best. 

She likes chocolate pie.

but a boy beat her. 

Abi got her hair done. 

I wanted this, but didn't have time because I was serving. 

Emily got a heart on the 2nd day. 

Georgia found a friend to help her fish. 

all smiles.... no silvers

nice seal though

Georgia and her pole. 

She is still waiting on the big one.
