Foundation for Blind Children

Our puppy raising club helped put on a "Olympic" event for a school for blind children. Kenneth Rebekah and Nate ran a beanbag toss event. They had a beeper that was in the bucket and the kids (if the kids were not blind they put a blindfold on them) tossed bean bags into the bucket. I think Rebekah was passing out the bean bags and Nate collected them up again. Sydney and Abby were asked to help face paint, there turned out to be so many volunteers that Syd and Abby had nothing to do, so they braided some fleece for a tug toy that the club sells for puppies to play with. Hazel parked herself at the face painting booth and took over the tattoo job, she convinced quite a few grown-ups to get a fake tattoo. Truman and I ran a booth where the kids ate a doughnut off a string without using their hands. And Nate got to try out "Test-drive" a guide dog.

It was a fun event, the kids (as always) worked really hard, and I think we all left with a better appreciation for our sight.
