The “Gymkhana” was lots of fun. We played games like “Candy on a Spoon”, “Chubby Horsey” (modified version of Chubby Bunny), the “Sponge Game” (trying to keep as much water as possible in the sponge), “Bobbin’ for Candy”, and “Sit-a-Buck”.
The Cayuga stormed back to win the final three events and pull into a first place final tie in the 101st running of the Great Indian Boat Carnival. The event consisted of ten different competitions, held in perfect weather on Long Pond. “It was awesome because I thought my surfing impressions were really good,” said Seneca Andrew Gonzalez. “It was great,” stated Tuscarora Jack Kinney. “It involved everyone. A lot of fun!”
