July 4th in Windsor Missouri


Misty and I grew up in a small town in rural Missouri named Windsor - population of around 3,000 people. Each year Misty and I take the kids back to Windsor for the 4th of July celebration at Farrington Park put on by the Lion's Club of Windsor. This is a fun all-day event filled with games, food, music and fireworks. The events include:
  • Frog Race
  • Turtle Race
  • Egg Race
  • Sack Race
  • Egg Toss
  • Water Balloon Toss
  • Softball Throw
  • Watermelon Eating Contest
  • Nail Driving Contest
  • Cardboard Boat Race
  • Local Music
  • Fireworks Extravaganza (so to speak)

Our family enjoys participating in the various costests throughout the day. The egg toss, waterballoon toss and the softball throw are a few of our favorites. The kids generally do really well. This year our results were as follows:

  1. Noelle - First Place in the Egg Toss
  2. Noelle - First Place in the Softball Throw (65 feet)
  3. Noelle - Second Place in the Water Balloon Toss
  4. Brittany - Second Place in the Softball Throw (120 feet)
  5. Shawn Jr. - First Place in the Softball Throw (132 feet)
  6. Shawn Sr. - Second Place in the Egg Race
  7. Shawn Sr. - Second Place in the Egg Toss
  8. Misty - Second Place in the Egg Toss
