Egg Toss Expert Shows His Stuff

 Anthony shows everyone how to keep you eye on the egg and get ready for the catch.


Jane Catches The Egg

 Does this constitute double teaming?



Or Does She

Presidential Style

 Ed's H. makes it look easy. Just look at that concentration!



Another One Bites The Dust

 Kyle make a spectacular attempt to save this catch, but ended up with just a spectacular mess all over himself.

 Al makes this one look easy, of course credit must also be given to a good toss - in this case from Judy.


Safe!

 Tom Q. makes egg catching look easy, or was he getting ready for the 50 yard dash?



Close But Not Quite

 Doris makes a great pose, but the egg doesn't make it to the next round.


Rosie Looks On

 Rosie was one of the smart ones . . and enjoyed the egg toss much more as an observer than a competitor.



The Winner of the Hero Award

 We don't give out many awards, but Bill M. thought that Ed was deserving for his leadership and contributions to the lake patroll. So . . Bill made up this medal out of a pickle jar cover just for Ed. What an honor!
