Kids Fun Fair

Today was our town's Kids Fun Fair, sponsored by the Salvation Army. I promised the kids I would take them, so we got there shortly after it opened. We brought our niece and nephew along so they could have some fun too, since their Mom had to work. Everything there was FREE, so it was a GREAT day for the kids and us too : ) They got lots of freebies; ice cream, balloons, stickers, pencils, etc. etc. Several businesses donated bikes for the event, so each of the kids were able to register for one. Our radio station (Shine 99) was also doing a bike give-away., however, their bike give-away was a little trickier than the other one. There were 9 businesses with a 3 letter code and you had to find those businesses and get those codes. Once you had all 27 letters, you had to figure out a "mystery code". The code was really tricky and NO ONE figured it out, so the ones with one of the main "key words" of the code on their final answer, were put into the drawing. We could make out 3 of the 5 words, but never figured it out. We were told to put down what we could figure out and then submit them, so that is what we did. Anyways, we received a call around 2:30 and they wanted to speak to "Keegan Cooper". Yep, you guessed it, he won a bike, YEA! (this of course made him smile). We drove back in town to pick up the bike, which ended up being, a huge 27" bike. He was happy but he was very concerned that he wouldn't get to ride it for a looonnnggg time. When we got home, Jerry said "let me see that bike" and Keegan started crying and crying. Jerry asked what was wrong and he said "I won't get to ride it until I'm a teenager" : ( It was a bitter-sweet moment for the poor, little fellow. We decided to see if Wal-Mart carried that kind of bike and they did, so...we were able to trade it for a bike that he can ride NOW. He is all smiles once again, because he has a new bike that he can ride NOW!
