2009 Regional Celebrate Life
On May 14-16, we took a group of teens to Regional Celebrate Life at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, IL. We were representing the Northeastern Indiana District Church of the Nazarene in an athletic and talent competition against students from Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan.
You can see my photos from the event on my flickr page.
Here is a video compilation of photos from the event:
My top ten favorite photos from the event are after the jump.
NEI-NYI President Dane Matthews and Celebrate Life Director Dan Garde contemplate the possibility of taking a bite out of a wad of pre-chewed gum.
Rachel, Cameron and Cody mug for the camera before the opening ceremonies.
William runs the 5k in the middle of a downpour as water splashes up from every step.
Our puppet team "Strings from Heaven" perform in the talent competition.
A participant from SWID makes good use of a pair of thunder sticks to display his uncurbed enthusiasm.
Players from the NEI and SWID soccer teams converge on a momentarily free ball in the soccer championship.
NEI's goalkeeper makes a play on the ball during the championship game's PK shootout.
NEI's goalie and one of our captains celebrate their shootout win over SWID for the championship.
Call it schadenfreude, but I had to get a picture of the Michigan contingent's faces when it became apparent they would finish fourth. (Michigan has won this event for the past four years.)
President Dane Matthews holds the Celebrate Life trophy aloft as it makes it's long overdue return to Northeastern Indiana.
