Odin Fire Chief Greg Smith says crowds were down at the Odin Firemen’s Picnic this weekend. He assessed the situation as the picnic was headed into its final hours before the fireworks display Saturday night.
“It’s going good. Obviously the number of people out here are a bit down because of the weather but we expected that. That’s something we can’t control but its picked up quite a bit since the weather. No rain’s staying around, so it’s a little better tonight. We were shoved down for a little bit but it’s not too bad.”
The Odin Park dried out enough to allow the car and sound-off competition to be held in the park instead of moving to the school.
Top car show awards included Scott Spitler the chief’s favorite, best paint Wayne S., best interior Angel Wilson, Eugene Brown Best Engine Bay, Steve Dunahee Best Wheels and Stance, Jeff Dunahee Best Custom, Josh Dunahee Best Classic (Pre-1980), Ryan Potter Best Modern (1980-2005), Cleave Pearson Best Late Model (2006-Present), Best Truck-SUV Darrel French, Bethany Gardner Best Import, Eddie Higgins Best Domestic, Aiden Minor Best Daily Driver, Billy Janicki Best Motorcycle, and Trey Dunahee received the Marvin Torbeck and Rod Hardy MOPAR Award.
In the Sound Category, top winners were Riley Nelson Best Power Wheels System, Domanic G Most Impressive, Darren Stuber Air Bender, TJ Patton Highest SPL and Log Schneider Most Ghetto.
In the Goose Creek Classic held Saturday morning in Odin, David Schackman was the winner of the 10K and Rene Crouse was the female winner. In the 5K overall Gunner Bartel was first. Top female runner was Cindy Purcell. The overall 2.5K winner was Ken Hayden.
