In August the Community of Forest Grove held the Redneck Regatta at Ruth Lake. The 5 teams had to build a boat in a designated amount of time and float them around a barge and be the first back on shore to ring the bell on the beach. Auntie Kathy and I took the kids out to watch the first annual race - it was hilarious! and so much fun on a hot afternoon!

| Here is one of the contestants - they were called all in the Family - the men had overalls and straw hats on - at the back there was a bucket with a toilet seat on it - it was so funny! |
 |
| Here are the Groovey Grovers styrofoam and empty water jugs |
 |
| This one won - styrofoam, cardboard, a plastic cover and lots of duct tape |

| Another entry built with empty milk jugs and netting to keep it all together |
 |
| The barge they had to go around - once the race started and the contestants were almost to the barge the guys on the barge turned the firehose on them it was hilarious |
 |
| And they are off! |
