Mascara 2009 is now in the history books. It was a great weekend and everyone who participated praised the good time that they had. From the Hamster Derby on Friday to the Ravioli Wrestling on Saturday to the Crawfish Boil on Sunday and ending with the BIG race on Monday, the events were well attended. The Ravioli Wrestling brought out the gag reflex in a lot of viewers, but they all admitted to loving it. The Mascara race was run by eleven participants, the most in the ten year history of the event. The winner for best time was Karbin from the Ninth Circle. Best Drag went to Darrin from the 700 Club, Most Money Collected ($1670) went to Cha Cha from Rawhide, Ms Mascara went to Joe from Oz, and the Ken GrandPre' Award for Worst Drag went to Mark who was running for Glazers of Louisiana. A big thanks goes out to everyone who participated and who donated. The weekend raised $8629.62 all of which went to the NOCCA Institute. |
