Ethnic Expo

The Ethnic Expo was full of great food, good camradere, and lots of fun photo opts!

Here we are with the Columbus Chinese Association. The "King" in this picture designed the float that is behind us.





They allowed the Justice League to sport their Kimono dresses!

City Council Meeting

Here we are with Mayor Fred Armstrong, and Treasurer, Brenda Sullivan. During this meeting, the issue of Columbus' need for a new water plant was mentioned. To that, Mayor Armstrong stated that for now, "When you flush it, it works." But, when the time comes to purchase new one, he stated that it would become "A 60 million dollar flush." (These quotes were published with Mayor Armstrong's consent!)

Some Putt Putt Domination

Here we are at the Leg 3 wrap up...the putt putt tournament. Our banner reflects a hole for each of our sponsors. It was our attempt to do a little something to thank you all.






Here's the Amazing Race putt-putt crew, including representatives from the Local Drafts, TriTans, B.A.S.H., and the Damsels, We won leg 3 and the putt putt tournament. Oh, what a night. We bought some lottery tickets on the way home!

Mill Race Race and Mayors 5K Walk

Taking some time for a pre-race photo opt before the start of the 15K race.





We did some post race celebration with other race participants. Clint and Greg from Vistors Welcome and Casey from the Green Team got in on the fun.





Linebacker Jeff Herrod ran the 5K. Those that beat him won prizes. Rayann smoked him and Jen ran a heck of a lot further than him, so we opted for a photo.




We ran into the Tri-Tans and the Roadhouse armadillo on the way out...

Freedom Field

While we were at Freedom Field, a handicap accessible playground, we happen to notice Spiderman on the climbing rock....strange we know! It looked as though he had a Red Bull can wrapped in his web. We could only infer the meaning behind this...

The kiddos from Parkside Elementary were pumped about the Spiderman cameo...

Rayann gave the full report on the events that ensued...

Hope Heritage Days

We checked out Hope Heritage Days and one booth really caught our eye. Julius and Cammille Shoaf make pure honey. They had the bees to prove it! Their business is Shoaf Apiaries...get yours by e-mailing them at beecrazy@sbcglobal.net





We found some Hopesters taking a break from all the festivities to pose for a picture with us. Dorothy and Ruth have are long time residents of Hope and were anxious to share their favorite aspects of this historic community.



We were anxious to see that even the Justice League was represented at this festival, even it if is at a small temporary tattoo booth!
