Camel Races in Virginia City

 


This was our first time going to the Camel Races in Virginia City


There were ostrich and zebra races too


it was pretty funny watching all the human-animal interactions


the races were only about 10-15 seconds, and the animals didn't always 
want to rush to the finish line


they had some fun skits and audience activities between each race, one
of them was having some little kids chase after ducks




this was when they did a little skit with the Grinch and Santa and had different 
sections of the audience sing different songs, it was pretty funny



This was Teresa's race


Teresa's camel behaved pretty well and trotted around but didn't go directly 
towards the finish line, so another camel got there first




Andrea came and sat with me


it was all sold out


Andrea and Brent got tickets in the shaded bleachers, but my ticket was for the sunny bleachers, 
so I had to sit by myself for a while


This gang got to sit in the VIP tented bleachers


We bought some seats for Nan and Melvin as a present for Nan's birthday


food trucks


It was a really fun show - totally worth it!



they had a cool banner out front
