Scottish Festival

We attempted some Scottish dances at the festival. OK, so maybe it's not EXACTLY a Scottish Highland Dance, but we definitely gave it a Justice League shot...





Our moves....







Their moves...


We also ran into a young piper, Johnathan. He schooled us on the technicalities of his kilt. It consists of over 10 yards of fabric in order to complete all of those pleats. This fabric, by the way, will set you back over $70 per yard. Do the math...that's one expensive get-up! Team Justice League used our crafty side to create our Scottish ensemble.

Professional Development Seminar

Everything you wanted to know about investing, but were afraid to ask...

We gathered some useful financial info from The Hartford with other amazing racers. The Sizzle, Local Drafts, and, of course, the TriTans didn't miss out on this opportunity to obtain some useful knowledge.

Here is a poetic tip that we gathered from this presentation:

I know we are the Justice League and most of the time funny
But listen up this time to here our tip about money

A professional investor took some time to teach us all we need to know Considering your objectives first is really the way to go

Time frame is next, think about how fast you want the cash
For retirement, a new car, or maybe just a hell of a bash?

Don't forget about your reward potential, there is so much to gain,
But you could also lose your *&$, so consider your risk only to remain sane

Just a tip from the top, don't try it on your own
There is much to mull, so throw your investor a bone

They will take care of you, as it is what they do
You'll lean more about stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, too

We enjoyed the presentation, thanks so much for your time
I bet you never thought you could learn so much from a Justice League rhyme.

The Big Flush

We found it! Here is the largest toilet. For those of you who have also discovered this incredible scatological artifact, you will understand why we were excited to have found some kiddo superheros along our way. Thanks to Superboy and Ms. Flash.






Oops...almost fell in! Thanks for the backup, Wonder Woman!

Big Brothers/Big Sisters Opportunity

This volunteer opportunity was a bit different than the rest. Laura Moses with Big Brother's/Big Sister's explained to us that she didn't have an "event" per se for us to sign up for and attend, much like our other volunteer opportunities. Rather, she needed some help with recruitment; she needed more "Bigs," darn it! So, the TriTans and team Justice League met at Starbucks over some coffee to hash out the details. Here's how it works: teams Justice League and the TriTans composed an e-mail to all of you amazing racers. Within this e-mail is a forward e-mail that is to be sent to anyone who would be a good candidate for the program. Volunteers then provide their contact information to Laura Moses who will set up an event for all of these interested folks to learn more about the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. So, this challenge is not really complete without everyone's effort and until we can get Laura some volunteers. Who better than the young professionals of Columbus to help out with this. Lets show her what amazing racers can do!

Drive in Movie at Mill Race Park

As we entered Mill Race Park, we wondered "What is this movie going to be, anyway?" Through walking by the many booths and seeing all the festivities, it hit us: "This must be part of our Amazing Race Challenge! Lets put all of these clues together to figure out the movie that we will all see!" The sponsor, First Financial Bank, really went all out. Everything looked great! Here was our thought process in determining what was in store for us...(A scary trip into the minds of Team Justice League)

Was it going to be....



Charlotte's Web, maybe?








Or a musical, perhaps? (Columbus, Indiana Philharmonic)








Seabiscuit is always an option, right?








Adventures of Bozo and Friends?(Props to Kum Join US Klowns for the great costumes!)






How about some GI Jane? (Thanks to the Youth Challenge Academy for the photo!)






We've got it! It's Dreamer! We took a minute to rest after figuring out what movie we would be seeing.








Ahhh...now it's time to relax for a movie with the Damsels!

Leg 2 Wrap Up

Enjoying some drinks and chatting with the Damsels and Casey of the Mother and Daughter Green Team.






Congrats to the TriTans and the RedBull Addicts for having such a great finish in leg 2 of the race. We will be back up with you guys next time!





Oh, the roaring 20's! Great flapper style dresses ladies; and you gentlemen looked fantastic. Thanks to the Damsels in Success, RedBull Addicts, The Local Drafts, and Team IBC for the photo opt! Best of luck to you all in Leg 3!

Hospice Concert

Here we are the Hospice Concert selling raffle tickets. The phrases for the night were as follows:

"$10 for your chance to win a new car or $10,000"
"Someone has got to win...might as well be you!"
"Can't win if you don't play; $10 folks for a good cause!"
"Can you picture yourself in a brand new Ford Focus? Only $10!"





And of course we ran into the TriTans...pretty sure they didn't want to miss Jan and Dean rockin' it out.







After the work was over, we took some time to do that ourselves actually...
