Friday night was Melon Festival. From my perspective it seemed like everyone got a bit sticky, full of watermelon, and had a good time. There were a variety of events such as:
- Ultimate Cantelope> Just like ultimate frisbee, but with cantelopes; a little harder to throw, a little harder to catch, and they split open and make a mess on your clothes. Plus if you spike a football after a touchdown, you don't wreck the football.
- Steal the Honeydew> people are numbered and lined up. When a number is called the two people run to the honeydew and try to bring it back to the middle, while the other is trying to stop them.
- Watermelon toss > partners line up in front of each other, and toss the watermelon. After every toss, they take a step back. If the watermelon drops and break they are out.
- Helmet Carving> groups take watermelons and try to carve the most decorate and creative helmets ( pictures above)
It was a cool evening, as always. Note the final events this week:
- Wed. Farmer Survivor 2:00 @ Berge's Farm. Bus leaves 1:45 from office. Bring swimsuit.
- Thurs. Youth Golf Tournament Talk to Adam
- Friday Canada day BBQ @ Cochrane's Food, Games etc. Bus leaves office @ 6:00pm
