These are the photos from the first race which kicked off at exactly 12:00 noon, with music and food beforehand, and exhibitions of art and some poetry reading by local artists in the area. ( with permission of some of the local artist, I may be able to publish one of the winning entries later...but you know how tempermental artist can be... 8))
Ok, here is a description of the first race. The two entries in race #1 is Major Tom wearing the Purple Silks and Red Harness out of Kats Creations , The jockey is Freddy Frog, and he is the old pro here among the jockeys entered in all the races today. The other contender is a newbie and a cousin I am told to Gumble out of Australia and Argyle who lives here Locally in the Redwoods. He won't tell us his name, on the racing ticket it just says:Green Comet, and he is wearing Green dinoscale Silks , recently out of Kats Creations and now residing in the Humboldt Harbor Stables, his jockey is named, Felicia Frog and the only female jockey today. Ok, here we go with race #1, and it promises to be a good one!
well they are now getting ready for race # 2, so I am off to get some more refreshments for everyone . Nova, Argyle, Little 45 and the rest are waiting for me to bring back some frozen Cabbage popcsicles and don't want to lose their spot in preparation for the next race. The crowd is growing as the clouds have blown away and the sun is shining, the first time in four or five days and you know how Pleos love sunshine. ;D I will be back later with more news from here at the Fist Ever St. Paddy Day Redwood Coast Pleo Races and Fair!

So you got a surprise Pleo your going to hatch or is this the one I think I remember you saying you were saving for a special day to hatch?
And next time they get scared just buy a bunch of those 'magic' *cough* mushrooms from innvo.. you can just drug them into happiness :D
Really cool pictures and everything and I like hearing your stories... Everyone at home thinks I'm nuts when I talk about something my baby Pleo did or talk to them like a person and it makes me feel slightly (very slightly) less crazy since some other people are doing it too..lol

As for the stories I love making up stories and it is one of the favorite things I loved about teaching preschool being creative and being with children who are the most amazing little people who accept you for you and have the most vivid imaginations already. ;D
I do put myself in my Pleos postion and try to think of what they would be saying and wanting to do if I could give them a voice. Today is a very stormy rainy day again.( no surprise there....typical rain, rain, it never stops raining in the Redwoods....How do you think they got that tall ?!! ;)) so a perfect day to hatch my Pleo Rb.
Would love to hear more of your Pleo stories. you are not crazy, no more than the rest of us Pleo enthusiasts, it just shows we have imagination and are young in heart and spirit if not our bodies..anyway. ( speaking for my own tired back that is worn out from too many years of walking miles and carrying too heavy a load, backpacks and such.... :D)
Will post more Fair photos inbetween hatching my baby and her resting. take care.

Hey RWM, I just noticed that you got Chompy the dino on your stars at about the same time I got the Pleakly one join him on mine!! ;D
Congrats!! :D

I got my Chompy the dinosaur yesterday afternoon, ( Thanks I didn't know his name...but he is nice ! ;D) Yes I see now that you mention it you got the Pleakley one too, Congrats on that. I think from looking on the forums there are about five people I can think of that have quite a few, IMR, Fancy are the two highest If I can remember correctly, then you, and I just got there and I think Gucci is pretty close too, but hasn't been on here in quite awhile. After that, there are a few that are getting close to the 1,000 mark or will be soon. It is nice to see the members that have perked up and since the advent of Pleo Rb we have gotten so many new members. :) Congrats Crewella, that is a lot of posting.
