tug of war
Saturday the 11th was the Streetfest in Killybegs. It rained but the folks showed up to watch and cheer the tug of war competitors down at the pier. There were a few teams that competed and it was fun to watch. I attached a video (46 sec) below if you are interested.

Hi Bill.
ReplyDeleteNice to see Bill.
Nice to hear the encouragements on the video.
Groettie from Patricia.
Looks like great fun. I wish I was there, Bill. We could have shared a Guinness.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
In contrary to your other pic's a lot of folk here. Nice.
ReplyDeleteI love this game.
ReplyDeleteKeep commenting on my blog because I love your comments.
ReplyDeleteThat is very funny with the movie to it. I can feel the tension!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun . . .
ReplyDeleteSmall town events like this are such fun, everyone seems to show up,
with many of the “townies” participating too . . .
Reminds me of our summers many years ago at my brothers cabin in Minnesota.
The little, tiny berg of a town had the grandest parade on the 4th of July.
The local high school band and floats would travel up the one block street
turn around and travel back . . .
If we really, really cheered, they would turn around and repeat again!
Children would parade too with their bicycles and wagons.
So fun!
Thanks for this Bill . . . and for triggering my memory bank . . .
Must be a few chafed hands after that tomfoolery!
ReplyDeleteThe people sound like Newfoundlanders. Love it!
ReplyDelete...big boys having fun.
ReplyDeleteThe video clearly demonstrates the crowd's enthusiasm. The action of the tug almost feels like a dance!
ReplyDeleteLoved the video Bill, tug-o-war is so much fun to watch 😀
ReplyDeleteHello, this tug of war looks like a fun event to watch. Loved the video. Enjoy your day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteIt must be a big event in town since so many people showed up to watch in the rain!
ReplyDeleteI usually see this kind of competitions during the Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games. Love it. I missed them this year.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a simple tug-a-war for fun.
ReplyDeleteI am tired and sore from just watching the powerful struggle in this simple sport/game!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot more serious than a tug of war I photographed during Buskerfest!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun for the spectators and hard work for the participants. I loved that video. They were certainly getting a lot of coaching.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love street festivals! The need to add the pit of mud in the middle of the tug of war, like in the movies lol!
ReplyDeleteA job for strong men! I'll pass.
ReplyDeletenow that is a long time since I was in a tug of war
ReplyDeleteGood to see so many people came to watch. What a nice event!
ReplyDeletelook attractive.
ReplyDeleteI love street festivals!
I tried to watch the video but it froze the computer and made a horrible loud noise.... had to turn off and start again.
ReplyDeleteI also love street fests. The video was great, those guys were really working. Loved the guy walking back and forth in the foreground with a glass of beer.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you included the video.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I don't think I have ever seen a tug of war on concrete - hard to get dug in!!! Great post and video!
