Heat, humidity and a thunderstorm was the scene for this year’s Sweet Dreams.
The 5k race started one half hour earlier this year right at 7:30 am. The
earlier start time made it difficult to get photos facing east, combined with
the humidity in the air, a lot of the shots came out dark. I had a bit of help
with the photos from Jeremi Skillman, he rode in the back of a pick up truck
along the race course and got a few nice ones.
Neil Brydge from Lyndhurst tried for a third time to have the best time, but
was beaten by a junior runner. Neil still won first in the men’s division.
Twenty four pitchers competed at horseshoes, during the hottest part of the
day. The champion class was a mix of people from all over the state, Ed Thompson
( Faber) was the champion, Joe Presho (Richmond) runner up , Roger Morris (Stanardsville)
3rd place and Harland Sousi ( Waynesboro) came in 4th.
Both events managed to beat the thunderstorms and rain late in the day. At
the main event in Stuarts Draft Park, the venders and crafters pack up an hour
early due to the downpours.
As the sponsor of the 5K and Horseshoe event 2008 will be my 20th anniversary
as a business person in Stuarts Draft, please invite your friends and family out
and enjoy in our celebration!
