The competition was fierce and a little wet for Summer Moon Festival's annual bed races.

With being the 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong's walk on the moon, the different obstacles were in his honor. Like trying to plant the flag on the moon while dizzy, feeding a teammate a moon pie while blindfolded, and do 50 push-ups to mark the anniversary. We caught up to the G.A. Wintzer Drivers team and the Wapakoneta Street Department team before the race and they were pretty confident in their strategy for victory.

"We own these streets, that's not a question, we're ready, we already own them, we can't lose that. These are our streets and nobody is going to take these back from us. We're coming for ya, if you ain't first you're last!" commented Wapakoneta Street Department team.

"We're going to put these young guns out here on all the speed stuff and my old butt on all the slow stuff," said G.A. Wintzer Drivers team.

Neither of the teams we talked to took first place. That honor went to the Village Greenhouse Team, who donated their 150 dollars prize to the Children's Hometown Christmas.
