About a week ago a race for breast cancer was held in Moline. As a part of that race, John Deere interns had a chance to paint a sign on the street at the starting line. Ryan jumped on this volunteer opportunity and we both signed up to help.
It was a great experience and a wonderful way to spend a Friday night. Because there was a lot of painting I became the official photographer so I could stay away from the fumes. Even though I wasn't allowed to help with the painting, I did help draw the ribbon for the "I".
Ryan had a great time painting and got paint all over the place, including my shirt.
The final project.
At the end of it all, we even got a picture in the loader of a John Deere tracker. Yup, a real John Deere tracker.
Unfortunately, it rained so hard the next morning that the race was cancelled. Uff da! However, the sign is still there a week and a half later and people still "ooh" and "ahh" over it. Komen's national headquarters even want step by step instructions on how to do it for future races. Pretty cool!
That sign looks super duper. Bummer that the race got cancelled, but that's great that they want step by step instructions. ROCK ON! PS. I miss you.
