Now for the first week of pictures. But I’d like to start with several videos if you don’t mind.
Let’s start with a look at a new contest that was added this year. It’s called the “Schuttelin Game” and the object is to be the first one to empty all the balls out of the box. First up are the women (0:42).
Second up is what turned out to be a preliminary contest for the men (0:36)
Next are the men’s finals (0:36)
And then here’s a rare occurrence where the chicken shows off his log sawing chops (0:37).
And lastly, here’s a clip of the Express Band playing the Chicken Dance you can hum while viewing the pictures (03:27). Just try to get it out of your head later.
Now we’ll get into the pictures. Select any picture you’re interested in by "clicking" on it and then use the navigation arrows at the bottom left of the page to navigate between pictures or select “Slideshow” at the bottom right and sit back and watch. I took more than 100 pictures this weekend and posted quite a few of them here. As always, you're welcome to check out as many (or as few) as you wish.
