Can you believe that it's August again already?! While we can hardly believe it, we were totally ready for the 2014 Outdoor Expo. It's always been one of Josh's and my favorite shows (look no further than 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, to name a few years). So this year, when Josh had scheduling conflicts that meant he couldn't attend, he was pretty bummed. I recruited Todd and Gwyn from ShinMaywa to help me out for the day, and what a day it was.
The really awesome thing about the Expo is that it's big and outdoors. Well, that means that it's a rain or shine event, and this year it POURED! Considering there has been beautiful weather for many years for this show, I figured we could pay our dues with less than awesome weather one year. We had a great day anyway.

As you can see, we hosted the 2nd Annual Chuck A Duck Contest. We beefed up the not-so-great bean bags from last year to hacky sacs. Everyone got 9 throws. These guys should have got extra points for being prepared and playing in the pouring rain!
The champion of the day was Tom Burton from Fond du Lac. He happily accepted his award and took home the trophy.
For all the runner up contestant, we had a drawing using a random number generator. Here is the number:
That means Travis Stuozynski from Amherst - a hat is on it's way to you!
Thanks to everyone for toughing out the weather and making the day fantastic. Like we said before, we always look forward to the day. We'll see you next year!
