Busy Labor Day Weekend
August 25, 2008 08:25 PM | Filed under:Personal
It has been a little while since my last non-photo
related blog post, so I thought I’d fill everyone in on
just how busy this upcoming weekend is going to be. On
Friday, Cheryl and I are heading downtown to Fifth
Third Field for the last Mud Hens home game of the
season. Unfortunately, the Hens will not make the
playoffs this year, but they can hopefully pull off a
win against the Columbus Clippers.
Saturday morning, we’re off to Akron for the night as Cheryl is going to a Leisa’s baby shower and I’m going to hang out with some of the guys and hopefully catch the first OSU game of the season as they play Youngstown State in Columbus. We’re staying at Brian & Trisha’s house that night, but leaving in the morning to head down to Bellefontaine for a picnic with my family at Indian Lake. After spending the night, we’re back in the car and driving up to Toledo where I can hopefully enjoy whatever is left of the weekend before going back to work on Tuesday.
I’m hoping that I’ll be able to find at least a little bit of time to sneak out and head to the new Ohio Brewing Company which recently opened in downtown Akron. I haven’t been to a new brewery in a little while now...

I spent a hot, sticky Sunday standing on a runway taking pictures of cars as they made their way through the circuit setup on the runway. This was the 8th NWOR SCCA event of the year, hosted at the Toledo Express airport.

MetLife Snoopy 3 @ Toledo Express (August 17, 2008)
After receiving a call the night before that a blimp was circling the airport, I went out in the early hours to grab a couple pictures of it and got to watch it take off and head east.

Pictures taken while participating in the Dragons In the Sky program at the Oak Openings Metropark. Unfortunately, dragonflies are hard to focus on properly, so there are more butterflies than anything in this set.

2008 Toledo Ribs On the River
August 05, 2008 05:46 PM | Filed under:Photos
This past weekend, my parents came up to Toledo and we
eventually made our way downtown for the 2008 Ribs On
the River event in Promenade Park. While the event was
a little light. I enjoyed a pulled pork sandwhich from
the Chicago BBQ Company and took some pictures of the
crowd and surrounding area. Below are a few of my
favorites:
The crowd waiting to sample ribs from the Chicago BBQ Company booth at the 2008 Ribs on the River event in downtown Toledo.
The Nu-Tones playing in downtown Toledo at the 2008 Ribs On the River event.
