RHODY: Bed racers think quick on their feet

Posted

Famed bed-rider Adam Porter and his fellow East Jefferson Fire Rescue teammates once again claimed the coveted bed pan in this year's Rhody Fest bed races.

That, of course, means they came in first, ahead of the Dove House team in second – despite that team's losing a wheel – and the Port Townsend Main Street Program and Labor Leaders entry in third.

Spectators crowded the course along Water Street on Friday evening, May 15 to catch the action as teams raced head-on into games of charades before charging through the finish line.

In keeping with the race's Kinetic kinship, judges bestowed the Best Bribe award to Port Hadlock QFC's bed-rider Jeanie Fenton, dressed as a big bunch of grapes, while the Most Spirit award went willingly to the wild and crazy guys of the Uptown Pub and Uptown Moose.
