Good Old Days Bed Races 2001

"Winfield Bed Races are forever the coolest part of Good Old Days!"

Once again this year, the Bed Races were another huge success. With an obstacle course format and the theme of delivering donuts, 14 teams with 52 participants raced on ready to roll beds and proved that community spirit is still alive in Winfield. Teams raced around the corner of Beecher and Church St. spelling out a sentence with donuts, milking "Bed E. Racer" the 1^st Place Cow, driving blindfolded through the streets of Winfield (sponsored by Main Street Winfield), and finally delivering the donuts and milk to a house they had to assemble.

The races were sponsored by CAPSTONE CUSTOM HOMES of Winfield and WINFIELD REALTY. The event was planned and run by the 2001 Bed Race Committee, Deb and Paul Moran and John and Lisa Neuman.

Don’t forget to get your teams together for next year, the 10^th Annual Good Old Days Bed Races are sure to be the best ever! For a reminder of years past, keep an eye on Fox Sports for the show "You Gotta See This", where the bed races were highlighted as a "Wacky" Race.
