The blind feeding the blind


Fun in the Sun

This weekend the village held their annual "Fun in the Sun" activities which was created 15 years ago by the
First Chief's wife.  They always have a wide variety of activities for everyone to participate in throughout the weekend.  There was lots of food with several food contests and potlucks.  The games included blindfolded feeding contest in which two blindfolded people had to feed each other pudding, ring toss, raft racing etc.  Mike and Scott volunteered to help with the raft races in the lagoon, which was a whole lot of fun to watch.  Two people made up each team, one in the front of the raft directing their teammate in the back of the raft who had the oars and also happened to be blindfolded.  The times for completing the race ranged from 1 minute and a few seconds to a little over 12 minutes.  They closed the activities Saturday evening with a talent show (that I somehow got volunteered to judge) and a dance.  The village has a lot of talent, as we got to see in the talent show and listening to their band.  They have two, The English Bay Band and the English Bay Rockers who play in several of the area's towns and villages.

  1. That sounds like so much fun! Post more pics so we can see the messy faces. I bet the kids had a blast! Was the raft race videoed? You know "The Old Ladies" are living live thru you adventures, all we do is work and pray for layoffs.
