Open Merc was re-scheduled and somehow I missed that. Our friends came up from Grant County for a visit and to watch and play music so we came home and had a living room concert instead! Fortunately for our visitors it was one of those picture perfect bluebird sky Methow day so they had plenty of fun and said they didn’t miss the Open Merc at all. They will return to try it another time.

Today was the classic part of the annual Race of the Methow held at the course at Liberty Bell High School. The snow really slowed down the racers and they spent much of their time double poling, even downhill.

The City of Twisp had a grand Fourth of July Parade and that was followed by an exuberant Arts Festival in the park sponsored by Methow Arts.
Anticipation!
Practice!

An annual six legged race with a costume contest held at the Town Trailhead in Winthrop. There are divisions for kids and adults and big dogs, little dogs and very big dogs. Yesterday’s snow conditions were less than desirable however it may have given the competitors a more even playing field, so to speak.
Starts are very exciting

Kids have their own division.
Getting psyched up before the race.
It is required that dogs and people stay connected.
Ricochet even raced against the big dogs
The really, really big dogs raced in a division named ‘Clydesdales’
Even with two dogs, this team came in last in its race.
Kristen and Sunshine managed to eke out a victory in this close finish.
Waiting for race time.
A disppointing finish for this well dressed pair.
