I have to admit, today I'm pooped. We are recovering from a full day of activity in town yesterday. It was the 4th Annual Nashcar Race and County Picnic in Nashville. The event was put on by the We Care Gang, to benefit people in need of food and shelter in our community. It was a really good time, and major kudos go out to the We Care Gang for putting on a first-class event. http://www.wecaregang.org

The events of the day included a short parade of the 9 race teams, highly competitive corn-hole and plunger toss games, and the feature event - the Outhouse Races. Yes, you read that correctly, we were racing outhouses. (insert potty-humor joke here).

Our team was racing for the Brown County Community Foundation. Other teams were from Habitat for Humanity, Bear's Hardware, "The Pirates", Brown County Solid Waste, and others.
Our team consisted of Chuck "Crash" Wills, "Richie Bobby" Wallace, Gas-Man Garrett Higbee and the world famous Teresa Turbo as our fearless driver.

The competition was really tough. Seriously. Garrett and Richie Bobby started the corn-hole competition for our team, and quickly worked their way through the heats to the final round, only to be severely trounced by Hills-O-Brown Realty team. Those guys took no prisoners and cleaned up 21 to 0. We ended up in 2nd place, which is pretty good for our first year in the game.

The real focus of the event - besides the amazing smoked pork sandwiches - was the Outhouse Race. Teresa Turbo worked her strategy of intimidation to psych-out the other racers. She was in full safety gear - helmet, neck brace, fireproof gloves and overalls. In the first round she piloted us to 3rd overall, beating the other 6 outhouses by a wide margin. We made it to the next-to-last round, where we came in 4th overall.

It was a day of great fun, food, friends and competition. The day was rounded out by amazing music from The Thunder Club. The We Care Gang did an excellent job, and raised nearly $6000 for folks in our county.

Great job everyone, and we'll be back next year!
