Cape Story’s 15^th Annual Spring Fling

After having to postpone once, the weather was beautiful for our 15^th annual Spring Fling.  About 100 children and parents enjoyed food and fun.  In fact, we ate 140 hamburgers and 100 hot dogs during the three hour event.  DJ Dave from Astro DJs kept the party shaking with rockin’ tunes and games.  Miss Kitty from Bobby the Clown Agency was kept very busy making great balloon animals and painting unique designs on many smiling faces.  Snow cones and popcorn where graciously provided by LYNN HUME, RE/MAX Allegiance.  Residents also enjoyed chips, salads and drinks courtesy of the Cape Story by the Sea Civic Association. Yummy desserts, salads and fruit were also brought and shared by neighbors.    Many kids and parents got wet competing in the water balloon toss and tested their strength at the tug-o-war.  Parents even got into the festivities by competing in the sack race.  Winners of the events were rewarded with gift certificates to AMC and Regal theatres. 

Event winners were:

• Kids Sack Race – Jordan Weiner
• Adults Sack Race – Steve Fisher & Sean LaCroix – Tie
• Hula Hoop – Meredith Bugg-1^st Place; Chris Peters-2^nd Place
• Water Balloon Toss #1– Mason Solomon & Jason Wang
• Water Balloon Toss #2 – Jordan Weiner & Patrick Smith
• Basket Ball Free Throw (9yr and under) – Chris Peters-1^st Place; Sophia Fisher-2^nd Place
• Basket Ball Free Throw (10yr and up) – Mason Solomon

Additional Spring Fling Thank You!!!

Thanks to Chris Doddy and Don Lawson keeping up with the hungry crowds by cooking up the burgers and dogs.  A special thanks goes to the many volunteers, Teri Doddy, Jenifer & Kyra Solomon, Empsy Munden, Billy Tetlak, Alex Groover, Quinn Wiess, Sara Lant and John & Lorraine Anderson for set-up, serving and clean-up.

The Cape Story Spring Fling is being postponed due possible severe weather conditions. 

Current forecast show Virginia Beach in a Thunder Storm Warning area.  Rather than risk setting up and getting washed out or dangerous lightening conditions, we have decided to hold the Spring Fling on the rain date of Sunday May 26, 2013.  Here is the new date/time information.  Weather predictions look good for next week with 73F and 0% chance of rain, but of course it’s stil 7 days away.
