About 40 people showed up to participate, 25 kids and and another 15 or so adults.&#160; Doug told a few stories about Downhill racing in the Olympics and World Cup and let everyone see his World Cup Medal.&#160; On display in the library were some of his fantastic Olympic memorabilia and a selection of related books.</p><p>The group warmed up with laps around the ball field then stretched.&#160; Next came chicken walks, high leaps, galloping, sashaying and of course running.&#160; Then an amazing obstacle course including gates to run, hoops to jump through, GIANT basketballs to dunk and a hay bale pyramid (thanks Susie for the loan of hay bales).&#160; After the adults finished getting the kids through the course they took a turn trying it out.<br />Thanks to all who participated, helped with set up and clean up, and a special thank you to Doug and Kelly Lewis of <a href="http://eliteam.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&amp;Itemid=1">ELITEAM camps!</a></p><p>Enjoy the pictures.<br /> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00d4141ea914685e00fad6ab95740005" at:format="auto" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-auto embed-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="width: 500px;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item embed-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-embed"> <iframe class="enclosure-iframe" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://a4.vox-data.com/6a00d4141ea914685e00fad6ab95740005-html" style="width: 500px;
