Children's GamesNews update! The Conway Family of Ventura will be unable to attend our Games. Peter Conway was hurt while filming a movie on March 14 - he has a few broken ribs. What shows Peter's character is that he not only called to apologize to us for not being able to make it, he also offered us to use his cabers for our Games. No apology was necessary SIR! We thank you for the use of your cabers! With the Conway Family's Cabers, our very own Boy Scouts Troop 133, and a few Scottish Heavy Athlete volunteers, you and your family can try your hand at toss the caber (5 lb to 45 lb). Last year a Grandma tried throwing the caber! Maybe you should try it, too! |
