Football – Festival

UPDATE – 10 -21 -2023 West Central Valley Wildcats lost to Sigourney-Keota Cobras in the first round of the football playoffs by the score of 52 – 7.

Below are almost all the pictures from the weekend.

Friday Night Football

I traveled to Woodward IA on Friday evening to watch the Woodward-Granger Hawks take on the West Central Valley Wildcats. I was a little late arriving and found the score 6 – 6. With the exception of a play-off game, this was the season finale. It was on the chilly and wet side. I found that my camera does not like the consistent cold. Warming it up in my jacket helped some, but not a lot. With the weather conditions as they were, it was good to see parents and families show up to cheer their players on.

Covered Bridge Festival

We started Saturday morning at the fire station for breakfast. I got hash browns, two sausages, gravy, coffee and milk. The milk was good. The hash browns were burnt, soggy and totally sucked. I played with the rest till it went in the trash.

Hitting the street, I made a stop at Wild Oak Art. I got a couple prints for the Harley garage. Last year I got prints for $25 each. This year they were $40 each. I decided to hold to two. Besides I’m running out of wall space.

Right after the game was over and we finished our beverages, it was time to get back to the farm. I took up a spot a one of the sofas. Got a quilt and kicked my shoes off. We found the Iowa – Wisconsin game. The Hawkeyes, America’s most boring winning football team to watch. When a team wins with 37 yards passing and the punter seems to be the best player, there’s not a lot to get excited about. But hey, they won 15 – 6. Sometimes wins are ugly.

The rest of the weekend did not go as planned if there was really a plan. I ended up sleeping a lot and didn’t make it home until Monday afternoon. About all I remember of Sunday was very little. This was a trip that I can safely say I shouldn’t have made.
