Cochin Days 2019 was a great success, Aug 9, 10 and 11. It threatened to “rain on our parade” but held off long enough for us to have lots of fun, from the start of the ball tournament on the Friday to winding down the Sunday with the Children’s Carnival.
We had eight teams registered in the slo-pitch tournament, which was won by Pitch Slap. Second went to BK Bombers and third went to Morning Wood.
Friday night ‘Movie in the Park’ was well received with around 400 in attendance.
On Saturday, the bike parade was led by the Cochin fire truck followed by 212 children registered to participate.
Beach volleyball boasted 15 teams. First place went to Team Randall, second place to Team Crush and third to Bros and Hose.
The horseshoe tournament had 12 teams, the scavenger hunt was popular with 21 teams and the vintage car show had 30 vehicles and one big fire truck. The trade show was sold out, so we will be looking to accommodate more tables for next year.
Saturday afternoon, fun in the park offered three bouncy castles, hotdogs, face painting, children’s games, a sand sculpture competition and a whopping 92 participants for the spaghetti eating contest.
Saturday evening started off with the boat parade. A total of 10 boats were registered. First place went to Coco, second to Bathtub Bubbles and third to Duck Dynasty. Meanwhile, Archangel Fireworks were on the main beach getting ready for sunset where they showed off their talents with an incredible display of fireworks, which was immediately followed by “The Gong Show” in the beer gardens where a good time was had by everyone.
The Cochin Days 2019 raffle was won by, first, Candace Lamon, second, Bentley Carberry and, third, Greg Gutting. Congratulations to all the winners of the day.
Sunday morning was underway early with the pancake breakfast under the big tent at the tennis courts. The Children’s Carnival got started at 1 p.m. at the Cochin Community Hall. It’s always a popular event, receiving the most children ever coming through the doors.
