Off and running (barefoot through the arena)

The Dillon Jaycees included a number of sections at their annual Demo Derby where kids were allowed to participate and fun they did have. In the boot race, kids pile their shoes at one end of the arena, and run down from the other end, find their shoes, put them on and run back to the starting line. In this age group, 8-10, some kids remembered they didn’t know how to tie their shoes once the got to the pile. All the kids needed extra detergent in the next wash load of socks. J.P. Plutt photo

Levi Blom and his band opened the Jaycee Summer Kickoff Concert at Andrus Arena Saturday night. The Dillon Jaycee event featured up and coming act Chauncey Williams. Most likely because of rain, the turnout was below expectations. Early in the day, the Jaycees hosted the Red, White and Blue Golf Tournament at Beaverhead Golf Course. A full field of teams made it to the club house before the rain came down. The succesful fundraiser helps defray costs of the Jaycee’s Fourth of July Fireworks Display. J.P. Plutt photo
