"Participants in the kids race please follow me Dingo D. and Olive Rootbeer carrying the "Staff of Victory!" to the start line of the big kids race!"

It was a great honor for us to be chosen to start the big kids race at the brews to Bridges 10K run last Sunday in Portland. Our main jobs were being mayors of the kid zone. We entertained the kiddos while hundreds of parents drank amazing beers then ran 10K!
But first Rootbeer and i gotta get the kid race started.

It's nice to see you all out here today, It's a great day for a good old fashioned Foot Race!

3.....2....1........GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wore some flash chicken feet so i would be slow enough to pace the kids...turns out it made me faster. I actually won the kids race but nobody counted my victory.

Every kid that crosses the line gets me cheering for them like they won.The may not remember it was me but they will remember the feeling of accomplishment and approval from non-family members.I couldn't stand there at the finish line knowingly wasting the opportunity to help create some winners.
