Root for Your Favorite Root

Although more famous as the birthplace of my dad, Ithaca, New York is also home to the International Rutabaga Curl, being held this Saturday. I note with approval the inclusion of a Turnip Toss for the kiddies, although my son could certainly handle the larger root vegetable, as the picture accompanying this recent post suggests.

H/T an anonymous fellow Hamilton grad known for his modesty among many, including those on the masthead.

International Rutabaga Curl? Who knew?

Btw, got stuck behind an SUV with a Hamilton sticker the other day. Apparently it knew when to get off the Merritt. ;-)

For 2010, Orphans' Thanksgiving should feature the Rutabaga Curl & Turnip Tossing. Who needs touch football? God bless the Empire State.
