Don't worry, this won't be a post about covering sports, but there was some racing involved.
This weekend marked Rhinelander's first Potato Fest with several activities to take part in. I wanted to check out the Couch Potato Racing event. I've heard of other communities doing something like this, but have never seen it. So, of course, I brought my camera along with me.
The rules are pretty simple:
- A couch on wheels with one person riding and four others pushing it.
- Halfway down the road, the person on the couch and to jump off and compete in a bean-bag toss.
- The teams then raced down to the end of Brown Street, turned around and stopped again halfway back.
- This time the person riding on the couch had to play the ladder golf game and get one sting of golf balls on a bar before continuing.
- The fastest team won.
There were only eight teams signed up for the event, but the crowds watching seemed to really enjoy it. I thought it was pretty neat seeing how the teams dressed up. We had a team there with the Duck Dynasty theme, a Charlie Brown theme, a sports theme, a radio station theme and others.
There was some fun emotion to take photos of too, like teams cheering for each other as they pushed the couches, celebrating with a fast time and reaction if a wheel fell off.
Here are some of my images from the Couch Potato Race held in Rhinelander.
Enjoy!
