Congratulations to our winner Mike Corignani, who got the keys to his brand new 4-wheeler from Matt of Jim Coast Sales & Services. Thanks to all the participants and all of our sponsors, who made it possible for everyone to receive a prize!

Chuck Charnisky is the Summer Survivor and the winner of a Kymco ATV from Charlie's Cycle Center. Igor and Scott More pictures will be available soon from the incomparable Shawn Murray. http://photos.reflectingmemories.net/

And ... the winner is ... Kevin McNamara! Kevin gets a thumbs up -- and the keys to a brand new 4-wheeler -- from Dusty Krepp of Charlie's Cycle Center. Kevin's son Kevin looks pretty happy about the grand prize, too. Competing with Kevin in the kayak race were Joe Whitney and Jeff Hardy. The rest of the top 10 finishers were Bob Baker, Eric Ezzolo, Brent Raabe, Nikki Cutlip, Troy Bailey, Pete Hardy and Kevin Parkhurst.

An annual tradition: The Donut Purge, made possible by John Williams European Pastry Shop. Brent Raabe won this event by eating 11 (count 'em; 11) donuts in 3 minutes. And, yes, Scott Douglas got a video of the whole thing.

Brent Raabe, above, tries his hand at Farmer's Golf while Joe Whitney, below does the Car Search. Tim Benner, Chelsea Wontsettler and Kevin Parkhurst compete in the Water Run, and Igor relaxes as his team competes.

During a break in the action Frank Williams chats with Diane Sheeley, executive director of the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce. Summer Hannold from Maryland was visiting her grandfather Bob and, it seems, she's practicing for when she's old enough to compete. Considering the sweltering heat, she was also smart enough to get a drink of water from Grandpa. WESB/WBRR Sales Rep Jessica Gilbert introduced her little one to Scott Douglas, Don Fredeen and Igor.

The fun and craziness starts in just a few hours at Mystic Waters Resort in Limestone. Come out and see it all for yourself! For more info, including who's competing, click HERE Check back later for pictures!
