If you know anything about our “4-0″lympics Committee, you know they are always up for a good time and today’s event was definitely entertaining! The task was to carry an apple under your chin while running around a cone and passing it neck to neck with the next team member.

This is the snapshots from today!

On your mark,

Get set...

Go!

Go, Becky, go!

The race is one...

Look at those skills!

A glorious victory!

Winners... nice work!

Tomorrow is the final event. It’s the most popular event in the underground parking known as the “Gurney Race.” Come and join us for the finale of Employee Appreciation Week!

Watch out, today’s event was crazy! We had four teams who figured out how to make a wheelchair cruise. The event was definitely one of intensity and a lot of fun. 

Here are a few pictures to give you a glimpse of just what it was all about!

Some serious strategy, or maybe not!

A bit of some anticipation.

A few close calls!

And a whole lot of cheering!

All and all the winners ended up being…

Silver Medalists

Bronze Medalists

And with honorable mention to the last place team. 

And the lids are off...

A taste of this and a taste of that, YUCK!

Hmmm, what is that?

What a team!

A big “thank you” is extended to all who came to participate and join in the fun. A good time was definitely had by all, from participants to spectators! Come join the party at tomorrow’s event. It is the Three-Wheeled Race.  It is sure to be a riot!

The first event of this week’s “4-0″lympics is the “Walk”er race. To win the race you must first place the handcuffs around your ankles, take one step at a time, honk the horn each time and continue around the cone until you return to your team. The first team to have all members finish before the other participating teams wins! 

Here are a few snapshots of the event:

The fierce competing teams!

Watch out our COO has walker skills!

Wahoo, Coralee! You go girl...

And the winners are…

The Speedy "Walk"ers -- First Place Team

"Granny Slow-Speed" Second Place Team

The Third Place Team

Last the Best of All the Game...
