It's called the Joust, but there are no lances or horses involved. There are, however, plenty of other sporting activites like Basketball, Badminton, Running Events, and even Car Racing.

A heated match of half-court basketball ensues between some of the Sir Knights and their Squires. Even an Advisor gets in on the fun.

On the other side of the court, another match occurs. This time, it's the game of HORSE for those that didn't want a match that was quite as heated.

The Knights, Squires, and an Advisor look on as Sir Knight Brian Eidson attempts his patented bounce-shot. He shoots the ball by bouncing it firmly on the ground so that it will bounce into the basket. Sir Brian never made the shot, but Knight Commander Perry tried it, and in the graceful style of our Commander, he sunk the difficult shot.

After the time at the basketball court, the Knights headed over to the track. Everyone was shocked at the outcome of the race. It appears that our fearless Knight Commander, Perry Bennett, won handily over Sir Knight Adam Perry and Squire Adam Fowler, two of the fastest runners around. There must have been some foul play involved....

Following the track races, the Knights went over to the badminton court. Dad Rusty Newport sets up to lob the birdie over the net for a point.

Squire Billy McDaniel hits a flawless serve as Knight Commander Perry directs the team's next move.

Despite Squire Billy's flawless serving and Knight Commander Perry's expert direction, their team was unable to emerge victorious. As captain of the team, Perry was forced to wear the pink "Shuttlecock of Shame" on his hat.

After the badminton tournament, the Knights headed back to the lodge for some car racing. A leadership and teamwork-building activity, the Knights divided into two teams and were given a piece of styrofoam, a propeller, and some other common household objects and told to create a car out of them.

Team Captains Perry Bennett and Brian Eidson ready their cars for the race.

And they're off! The car built by Perry's team won the race. However, the car was cited for unsportsmanlike conduct since it swerved and knocked the other car off course. All in all, the teams decided that both cars were equally fast and called the race a draw.
