One of the tings i like about Flagler Beach is their many events they have. They have a farmer's market every weekend, concerts in the park, and just special events throughout the year. This was one of their special events. An old fashion bed race. The chamber of Commerce put on this competitive special event and business of Flagler beach participated. This was the first year for the bed races so there was less than ten business that competed.
First they had the parade to shop of the beds, then the race itself, which by the way was not just racing. They had 3 stops on the way. One was to change shirts before they could go on. The second was they had to fill a cup with a ping pong ball with water from water guns , the third was catch a marshmallow in their mouths then to complete the race. The race was timed for all events and the bed with the shortest time overall won.
My favorite of course was Finns, our favorite place to eat and drink that over looks the ocean in downtown Flagler. The competition was really fun to watch although it was 90 degrees out and no shade to be found. I felt so sorry for the kids the cats. They were in full costume and I am sure they were dying of the heat.
It was really a fun day to watch the action then to head off to Finn's for some beverage and food.
