Winter Festival
This weekend while Tara was away Kentucky, Trevor and I headed down to the Burlington Winter Festival. This event is basically an excuse for all of us Vermonters to get the heck out of our houses in the middle of the Winter to shake free some of the winter blues, oh and it's a lot of fun too.
There were ice sculptors, snowman making contests, and a bunch of other events for the kiddee's. The pinnacle of this festival though is the Penguin Plunge sponsored by the Special Olympics. This event is used to primarily raise money for the Special Olympics, but really is a great excuse to make your friends act like fools, dress in costumes, and hurl themselves into the frigid waters of Lake Champlain.
Can you think of anything more hysterical? Oh, yeah maybe seeing a guy in a giant Donald Duck costume hurl himself into the frigid waters of Lake Champlain while dancing with two witches, a guy wearing a tutu, and a few rugby players. Now that's comedy.
Now all we need to do is hurl a cow/piano and we'll be ready for our TV series.
