How did we send off Ol' West Week? Why, with a County Fair of course. How else would we do it? (Well, sure. I suppose there are other ways. But we chose a County Country Fair, and we're sticking by it.)
 |
| There were booths galore! |
 |
| Booths with recycled plastic flowers. |
 |
| Booths like "Blind... |
 |
| Water Balloon... |
 |
| Pinata." |
 |
| Oh yeah! |
 |
| Oh no! |
 |
| Booths like... |
 |
| "Popsicle Square Dancing." |
 |
| It appears Jasper is a wanted man. |
 |
| I wonder what they'll do when they catch him? |
 |
| Oh. They'll do that. Classic Camp crime and punishment. |
 |
| But that's not all! We had pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey-on-the-tree. |
 |
| We had face painting. |
 |
| We had throw-the-ping-pong-ball-in-the-bowl-and-win-a... |
 |
| -Fish. |
 |
| Enough fish for everyone. |
 |
| We had lasso the floating cow! |
 |
| And the floating cow always ended up in the lake. |
 |
| Mmmm. A delicious pretzel just hovering in mid-air. Why not take a bite? |
 |
| Watch out! It's a trap! |
 |
| A trap everyone is falling for. |
 |
| And of course, what would a country fair be without a hay ride? |
 |
| Been face paintin'. Been Popsicle dancin'. Time for hay ridin'. |
 |
| All aboard! |
 |
| And off we go. |
 |
| Off on an Ol' West Camp adventure. |
 |
| Even led by a legit country tractor and a legit Camp facilities worker. |
 |
| I told you we might have horses. |
 |
| On to our Frisbee Shooting Range! |
 |
| Run by our own extravagantly whiskered cowhand, H.P. Hushpuppy. |
 |
| As the campers learned so well, "The H. stands for Hush and the P. stands for Puppy. His name is Hush Puppy Hushpuppy." |
 |
| We also had this booth! The Ol' West was a trying time to be a counselor. |
 |
| Uh-oh. Our bandit sheriff guards the bridge... |
 |
| ...that leads to the California train. |
 |
| To be completely historically accurate, we made sure our train was just a piece of rope the campers held while making locomotive noises. Just like they really did in the ol' West. |
 |
| The signs says it all. We're gonna be rich. |
 |
| Don't look so skeptical! Rich! Rich, I tell ya! |
 |
| First we toil in the gold-rich lake. |
 |
| And then weigh the wealth of our claim. |
 |
But we didn't just have booths! |
 |
| We also had happy campers! |
 |
| Smiling campers! |
 |
| Laughing campers! |
 |
| REALLY laughing campers! |
 |
| Photogenic campers! |
 |
| Campers pleased with the Country Fair! |
 |
| And campers just pleased in general! |
 |
| All added up, it makes a nice afternoon at the end of another nice week of Summer Camp. |
Up NEXT: The official Staff Photo. AND! It's Session 5. And it's August. And where has summer gone!?
