| Sharidy, Ian, Molly, and I (taking the pic) started the day with TJ, Megan, and Morgan for breakfast at The Celtic Fox. |
They were serving biscuits and gravy and BEER! |
the place filled up fast |
|
|
|
|
|
|
then we headed off to the Bed Races. Hey! Where's Ian?! |
Oh, there he is! |
The the first annual Great Topeka Bed Race was held on 9th street between Kansas Ave and Quincy |
|
|
|
|
| |

|
|
| The Topeka Civic Theatre team (Little Shop of Horrors on the left) won most creative award. |
Contestants raced in heats of two... |
... down to Quincy... |
...the bed rider then changed into pajamas, and then raced back. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
They had entertaiment between races. |
|
|
|
|
| Lindsay Shivley and Dave Johnson of WIBW were the MCs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Westar team (left) won for the fastest time. |
There were three judges (the folks sitting on the stage). |
|
The turn out here was a precursor for the huge crowd to show up at the parade. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...and then more entertainment after.. |
|
|
|
|
| |
Then we headed back to The Celtic Fox to hang out before the parade. |
