Skip Fordyce H.O.G. Chapter Challenge

Skip Fordyce hosted a contest of strength and athleticism tonight. The games consisted of volleyball and tug of war.

The teams for volleyball were I.E. H.O.G., Circle City H.O.G., and the employees of Skip's.

The first match pit I.E. H.O.G. against Skip Fordyce. Those fellas from Skip's beat us, but the true score may never be known, with a few people voicing different numbers - including Jay, the owner of Skip's. I kind of preferred the numbers given by the guy that was drinking or another member of I.E. H.O.G.

After the match, we were provided with a meal. This meal consisted of various burritos, chips and salsa, refried beans, and rice.

The second match would leave Skip's defending it's lead against Circle City H.O.G. Having just lost to Skip's, I was encouraged to root for them against Circle City. We couldn't live with the trash talking should they win. The folks at Skip's made quick work of them and beat them by a larger margin than the match with us.

Volleyball behind us, the next contest would be the tug of war. I.E. H.O.G. would be fortunate to have some large men participating. The team consisted of I.E. H.O.G. and a couple employees of Skip Fordyce Harley. The opposing team would consist of a few gusys smaller than ours (not small, but small in comparison) and about 4 or 5 petite women. We had this one in the bag. Or so any bystander would have thought. Those women and the smaller men of the group would pull our group over the line and almost into the kiddie pool in the middle. Cries for 2 out of 3 rang out. The second match would end the same as the first, the men from I.E. H.O.G. would be dragged again to the other side, this time after a small delay.

One last event would remain - the old stein hold. About 10 people would have steins filled with water extended out from their bodies, held with only a single arm. Men and women would compete. Arms began to quake. One after another, a drink would fall, eliminating a contestant. The women put up a good fight, with a couple outlasting quite a few of the men. The last one holding the stein would be from Circle City.

I.E. did not win any of the contests of strength or athleticism, but it did go home with a Hog Pinata, due in part to the many attendees from the chapter. We won by pure numbers. It was the consolation prize.

I had a blast tonight and it reminded me why I enjoy that dealership so much. The events held are usually great. The H.O.G. chapter of that dealership is also great. I look forward to the next one.
