The tricycle races were next. There were two to a team, one on the tricycle and one to push. This was so the tricycles wouldn't break. Down the runway they went tipping and turning. Then the final heat came and the winners were announced. Seniors Ron Heath and Marnie Fest crossed the finish line first. Next on the agenda was the always infamous pie-eating contest. Teams impatiently waited to sink their teeth (and faces) into their pies Chocolate, banana. “I had to wash my hair 3 times before the pie would come out of my hair.” — Patty Boyer and whipped cream flew everywhere.
