Labor Day Weekend in Rushford, NY...

 A Weaver family tradition has always been the festivities of Rushford Labor Day weekend! So of course we had to go visit my Grandma, Aunt and Uncle in western, NY for to celebrate with them. The big event of the weekend is the Demolition Derby! Great fun!

 This is just the beginning of the afternoon... this year we watched some crazy things happen, including a car flip. Don't worry, everyone was ok!

 By the end of the afternoon there is no longer any green grass and the cars that have been able to get into more then one heat look a bit crazy!

 The horse pull is also another big event of the weekend!


 And we enjoyed the Chili Contest because we could taste and vote!


 The Chili judges... Jacob actually voted for the same Chili as the judges!

 And of course there is the Labor Day parade on Monday with the Rushford Band.

 And there are always lots of kids ready to catch all the candy that the people in the parade throws their way. This guy is expecting to get A LOT of candy this year! And it looks like his sister is trying to steal some of it while he isn't looking. :)



 My Uncle Roy is the Pastor of the Belville Wesleyan Church and they also made a float!

 Jacob is sure that Interface in Papua New Guinea needs one of these vehicles!

 And he says this would be very handy as well!




And we had to go to the antique car show!
