Kickball and Wildlife Festival

Kickball
This afternoon I spent my time photographing the first game of a new adult kickball league being started in Chardon.  I photographed a young group of adults on the "Ball"-istics team because they were very animated and into the game.  The "Ball"-istics were in the hole in the top of the 5th inning but came back with a 6 point gain in the bottom of the 5th.  K.S.A., the opposing team, scored 3 points in the top of the 6th but couldn't top the "Ball"-istics.  "Ball"-istics won the game, 13-10.

Wildlife Festival
After the kickball league, I had to find some art to fill the paper with some more content.  I ventured to the Lake Metroparks Penitentiary Glen for a Wildlife Festival.  The festival brings in 1500-2000 people every year.  Kids learn about wildlife and how to treat animals they might encounter in the wild.  Visitors also had the chance to ride the famous miniature train set.
