white squirrel festival 2010

I'm not sure what started this little festival
in Brevard,
but maybe it was all of the 
REAL
white squirrels
that live in the town.
They are not albino squirrels,
just 
white.

You could fish in here for
"fish turds"
to win a free toilet.
Nice.

This was a tree lined game of 
basketball bowling with log obstacles.
FUN!
(And totally Twin Peaks for many, many reasons.)

There they are!

More!
They are everywhere... 

This one was cute.

These guys were in front of City Hall.
The trunk is cast concrete
but the squirrels are
carved marble.

Climb on? It's tiny!
Oh wait, it's under surveillance?
I'm gonna climb that 24"
white squirrel
sculpture
no matter 
what!

The squirrels are actually
quite nicely carved....
If it ever disappears,
you'll know where to find it 
Mr. Mayor.

I bet the festival 
has something 
to do with these
 folks

Stack 3 different color vintage coolers,
and 
I
WILL
take a picture.

They also had a Squirrel Box Derby
going on.
This was our favorite entry.

These people tried hard, but not too hard, 
like most of the racers.
They were cool.

Nice details.
This is the back of the driver's helmet.

Ok,
It's the Squirrel Box Derby,
Not the Indy 500.
T. T. H. I. M. O.

Yawn....

BUT!
Check this out, the dude goes down face first.
Crazy.
He also controlled the steering with the 2 pedals
between his feet.
That was pretty cool.

This dude was as serious
as a heart attack!
But he was SO serious,
that it was great!
He was totally agro. I couldn't help but
get into him.

His rig.
He made it to the quarter finals,
but got smoked by the girl below.
I bet he wasn't too into that....

This is the rig that beat him.
There is a top that goes on it so just your head sticks out.
(Where is that picture?)
These guys were also way serious,
but since they were bikers, 
I forgave them.

The finish line.
They had the coolest t-shirts but
were
SOLD OUT.
:(

Ok, look at the dude in the lower
right corner
and scream out loud:
DUDE, SHE DONE CRASHED, GIT DOWN THERE WITH
THEM PADS!
WE GOTS TO GIT HER FIXED FAST!
HELL IF I KNOW! SHE WAS DOIN' 40
FUR SURE!!!!

  1. At first I felt kind of guilty for digging on the concrete squirrel sculpture, but then there were like 3 shots of it, so I felt better about my lowbrow taste! Also, LOVE the matte black lawn chair in the first rig...backyard summer magic! Do you think that chalkboard paint would work? Maybe if it got hot enough in the sun you could BBQ on it!
