ReplyDeleteWho was the nice lady that brought the parachute? We had so much fun playing with it after the kid race. Brought me back to my elementary school PE class days.
Robin,
ReplyDeleteThe nice lady was Lousie Omoto Kessel, a Bynum resident who also does storytelling (http://louiseomotokessel.com/) and runs summer camps at her Clapping Hands Farm (http://www.clappinghandsfarm.com/index.html) She's had some great craft workshops at Pittsboro Toys who had a booth at the event and sponsored a chalk drawing contest.
Louise and I are looking at offering a Fairy House Building workshop at some point in the future at the new park. Participants, mostly parent child pairs, would build fairy houses from on-site native materials. A portion of participants would leave their handiwork at the park to inspire other spontaneous creations, while some may choose to take their work home with them.
The excellent Charlotte Mecklenburg Park System hosts just such an event, at one of their parks, and it draws huge crowds, even on cold snowy days in February. (http://charmeck.org/MECKLENBURG/COUNTY/PARKANDREC/ENEWSLETTER/Pages/February2010.aspx) I credit Charlotte Mecklenburg staff for the great idea and inspiration. Though I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, not yet having offered the class.
I inadvertently erased someone's (anonymous') inquiry about posting the race results online. I'll check with Taylor at the Carolina Brewery, who did an awesome job of organizing the race, and post the results soon. She had the assistance of a stalwart cadre of volunteers, many from the Pittsboro Running Club; these volunteers included Andrew Allden from Pittsboro's Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Keep an eye out, I'll have the results posted soon.
ReplyDeleteOK, race results by gender, irrespective of age categories. Contact me if you're interested in more detail. -phh
