Water balloon War

The heat has risen in Greencastle, so that calls for some watery fun. Everyone seemed to be struggling for the heat, so I had the great idea of having a giant water balloon fight. With the help of a few friends, I spent several hours filling close to 200 water balloons, not the most fun I've ever had. Then, while people were playing soccer on the intramural fields, we took our payload so we could start the fight. At first there was some hesitation, but then mayhem was unleashed and balloons were flying everyone. People were getting drenched or pelted in the chest with a seemingly unbreakable balloon. I managed to take a shot to the face, and, though it didn't feel good, was hilarious. Overall, people were very satisfied with the fun and I hope it happens again someday, but only bigger and better, maybe with a balloon this size...

(I can't imagine getting hit with something like this)

Also this week is the Putnam County Fair. I have never attended this fair but I have been to a few county fairs before. Accompanied by some roommates, we saw plenty of livestock, a cow which I thought was going to charge us, and a small talent show with a 12 year old girl who was belting out Carrie Underwood perfectly. The girl really does have some talent. I'll be back to the fair tomorrow, hopefully for the costume goat parade...if I can make it on time.
