The Labor Day Festival was a huge success on Saturday as thousands of people from Warrior Country enjoyed an American-style festival with a touch of Korean heritage on the main streets of Camp Casey.
Labor Day, a national holiday set for the first Monday in September recognizes the hard work and achievements of American workers and for their contributions to the economic growth and prosperity of our nation and to formally celebrate the end-of-summer.
The Area I festivities kicked off as 86 participants competed in a 5 kilometer race at 8 a.m. at Camp Red Cloud. Medals were awarded to the top two finishers in each of the four categories… overall men's and women's event and categories for overall senior men's and women's.
The Casey streets filled with people of all ages were eager to get the festivities started at 3 p.m.
Carnival rides like the merry-go-round, donkey rides, paddle boats, "Viking" rides and the bungee-cord trampoline brought loud shrieks of delight from the younger children who were brave enough to ride them.
The streets were lined with vendors selling carnival style foods like funnel cakes, cotton candy, barbecue, hamburgers, hotdogs and ice-cream. There were plenty of water, sodas, and ice-cold lemonade that could be purchased to quench one's thirst throughout the day.
Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers made their presence felt by challenging contestants to participate in either a fear factor style eating contest or the traditional pie-eating contest.
The fear factor competition had 20 participants with stomachs made of steel as they slimed their way separating the gummy worms out of a pie-pan filled with a concoction of ingredients that would make any normal person's stomach churn.
"The tastes in the first two-rounds weren't too bad," said Cpl. Vincent Stringer, Company A, 1st Battalion, 15th Field Artillery Regiment. "But the last round, what we ate was terrible and too chunky; sometimes I had to just swallow it without chewing."
Col. John M. Scott, U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I commander, awarded Stringer with an I-Pad mini for his valiant effort. Second and third place finishers received a goody bag filled with a BOSS polo shirt, t-shirt and other memorabilia.
The pie-eating contestants raced to see who could eat the chocolate and whip-cream pie the fastest as bystanders cheered them on. The first place, second place and third place winners received $150, $100 and $50 Army and Air Force Exchange Service gift cards respectively.
2nd Infantry Division's rock band took to the main stage and provided up-beat songs that had the audiences dancing in their seats.
There were plenty performances scheduled throughout the day for people to observe. The Korean-style drummers and a balancing act on a tight-rope attracted 100s of people around the softball field as they played and displayed their talents.
The Military Police showed off their police dog's obedience and agility by showcasing the different types of attacks used by the MPs.
As the sun went down, folks gathered around the main stage to watch, listen and dance to the live entertainment that included fusion band, mariachi, and a female rock-band, Mad Fret.
According to Scott, the Labor Day Festival is Area I's biggest annual recreational event and this year's event is comparable to county fairs held in big cities.
"Everyone who helped put this [festival] together did a wonderful job," congratulated Scott. "No matter how old you are three or 30 or even older, I think everyone had fun."

Thousands take part as Area I says so long to summer

CAMP CASEY, South Korea – Warrior Country put work on hold Aug. 31 to celebrate Labor Day with a festival on Camp Casey. Almost 5,000 Soldiers, civilians and family members took part in the annual event.
“The Labor Day Festival is the culmination of summer and to recognize that everyone has been working really hard,” said Chris Bradford, director of the U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I’s Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation.
“We started the festival with a parade,” he said. “It was a chance to get everyone to walk together and have the typical things you see in a parade – clowns, people on stilts and floats.”
The floats were part of a competition between Area I units, who were vying not only for bragging rights but also prize money for their unit funds.
First place went to Battery B, 1st Battalion, 38th Field Artillery Regiment, 210th Fires Brigade, a $300 gain for their unit.
“Their float was pretty cool,” said Bradford. “It was a little, camouflaged, Pinto-type automobile decorated like an MLRS,” or Multiple Launch Rocket System.
Second place went to 2nd Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment’s “Keep Up the Fire” float.
The parade led everyone to the Gateway Club, venue for the bulk of the Labor Day Festival.
In the carnival area were food, games and rides for the festival-goers as well as a petting zoo and craft items for sale.
On stage was a varied mix of entertainment – Korean bagpipers and drummers, dancers, singers.
And there were tests of skill: a chili cook-off, a hot dog-eating contest and a talent competition.
“The festival was a blast,” said Helena Ratzlaff Bauer, who attended the festival. “There were a lot of rides and booths and animals, and a lot of people told me they were grateful that their kids could take part in all these activities.”
“We wanted make it something you would see back in the states,” Bradford said. “But, being here in Korea we wanted to be able to give a taste of the local culture, so that is why we had traditional drummers and the dancers.”
“The cultural dancing was great and they need to continue to have things like that at future events,” said Capt. Travis Coates, who was at the festival with his 9-year-old daughter, Trinity.
During the Labor Day Festival, 18 cooks got to show off their cooking talents during the chili cook-off. Each participant had three hours to make chili from scratch.
“There was no canned chili out there,” said Bradford, who like everyone else at the festival was free to sample the chilies.
“The contest brought some real heavy competition and of course something that seems to be a theme with any chili lover is that they want it hot,” he said. “I had the privilege of watching the judges sweat, and burn their taste buds.”
Gabriel Clinton’s chili impressed the judges enough to give him first place in the cook off, while John Smith came in a close second. Marie Shultz’s chili earned her the crowd favorite award.
Parades and polished chrome, this 1954 Packard rests at the end of its fifty-sixth Summer. Beside a little frame house dotted with flags of various sizes, this could be anywhere America.
At the end of my forty-seventh Summer, I contemplate how the season passed by so quickly, remembering the days when it seemed to last forever, knowing that I am anyone America.
Esta es la última labor de María (a falta de acolchar y bordear) y queda así de bonita así que cuando la acabe será aún más resultona :)
