Ready, Set, Fight!

I'm used to old-fashioned things like three-legged races, frisbee toss and face painting at festivals and social gatherings. Nowadays the thing seems to be sumo wrestling. You put on these heavy, inflatable-like weighted suits and go against an opponent. First one to push the other out of the circle is the winner. The hardest part about it was refraining from laughing long enough to actually gather the strength to fight. It was smiles all around.

Fanciers Fancying Dogs

Last weekend was a get together of doggies galore at the Abbotsford Tradex for the Lower Mainland Dog Fanciers of BC. The fur was flying, but it was limited mostly to the grooming sections.

Rounding the Motocross Corners

More Mission Raceway Motocross practicing.... my shoes need a scrubbing but I didn't need to enrobe my camera in plastic this time because it was a drier track. Either that or I'm learning to stay out of harm's way.

Dirty Motocross

Time to get out the Q-Tips. My camera was a casualty of mud sprays and splashes at motocross practice at Mission Raceway:

Some of the action that progressed until sundown:

Girls, Beer, Prizes

How anybody learns english properly is an amazing feat to me. Just look at this sign. Each time I read it I interpreted it differently. Is it:

"Bud Light Lime. Sampling Girls & Prizes!" meaning girls will circulate with samples of Bud Light Lime and you can win prizes.

"Bud Light Lime. Sampling girls & Prizes!" meaning you can have some Bud Light Lime and sample different girls but I'm not sure what exactly the prizes would be for in this case.

"Bud Light Lime Girls. Sampling & Prizes!" because someone had run out of room when they started writing the sign and didn't end up spacing the lines properly.

I can find out Sept 5 apparently.
