A hot (or cool) event was Cribbage. With the tree's providing some shade from the intense heat, Cribbage was popular for both players and spectators. Eric Gunn and Adin Wolfgram wove through the bracket to land head to head in the finals. A spot Eric is familiar with.

Adin pulled out an impressive victory in the end and nearly past out from excitement after the last peg as taken. "I won? I won. I WON!!"

One thing the gods have become notorious for is great O.O.T.M. ideas with less then spectacular executions. It started the first year with the poker chips for weights (God of Merriment "spaced" on the metal washers) and has plagued us since. This year... was no exception

In the end...Kate Clement and Roy Ferguson made the fastest "Egg Car". Which just goes to show that you don't have to be the sharpest knife in the drawer to pull out an Odyssey victory. ;-)

Homerun's were on the low side this year. This may be due to the fact that the bat was melting in the heat. The new field needs some work but it looks like Wiffleball has a new home.

Dennis Anderson took top score with help from his "extra swing". Members of the Swinger Clan get 6 swings instead of 5.

Numbers dropped off for the first time this year in Pass the Trash. I guess we can cut it back to 3 decks. Luck was a lady to Elizabeth Ferguson who took home a nice little bonus.
