As you can see The Amazing Race is coming to a close in June. Would you all like to continue the race or try something new?
....Like maybe Festivals around y'all neck of the woods?

I'm up for something new

this is a longshot but is this red enough?
1.7 (Bethany's task) Wear Red for Ed
Teachers in my state are rallying for respect. To support them, read a book with a red cover.

I am up for something new too. I didn't realize we had been doing The Amazing Race almost a year now. Time flies when you are having fun.

Well it does say Wear Red for Ed and usually a task asking for a red cover is 50% +. But I'll give it to you. The woman is wearing red dress. She wearing red for Ed. :D

No Detour this month?

I'm still waiting.

All the tasks are up.
