			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“A Day at the Races Part II:  The Bedpan Strikes Back” was held  Saturday, August 15, 2009.    This “fun for the whole family” summer evening event had it all covered . . . food, live music, a kid’s zone, informational booths, and the bed races.  The hospital bed races served as the cornerstone of the event with each team eligible for prizes and recognition. Contests ranged from the best-decorated bed to teams that raised the most money by collecting sponsorships and donations.</p>
<p>A sincere thank you to our teams:  Sherwood Valley Rancheria and Casino, Willits Lion’s Club, HMH – Med Surg, Sparetime Suppy, HMH – Misfits, Willits Rotary Club, HMH – Dietary, Shanachie Pub, Willits Soroptimist and Main Street Music and Video.</p>
<p>Food was being catered by Kemmy’s Smokehouse BBQ Shack with the Willits Lion’s Club handling all refreshments (soda, water and beer). The Boy Scouts were on hand with their “Monkey Bridge” for kids of all ages to enjoy.  Ms. Tina dazzled the crowd with her dynamic hula hoop performances.</p>

<p>Each team consisted of five people each and raced two teams at a time on the Haehl Creek Drive &#8220;track.&#8221;  This was a single elimination event with each winning team moving onto the next round and continuing until there was a winner who can claimed, “The Bedpan of Champions” trophy.  Congratulations to this year&#8217;s winner, Sparetime Supply who narrowly defeated the defending champions, Misfits from HMH, in a heated final.</p>
<p>A unique twist to this year’s event was that each ticket purchased went into a drawing for a signed Eric Clapton guitar, a Corona CA, Black Custom Stratocaster mix copy of which he played since the Jimi Hendrix days.</p>
