Nearly a second smile
Amy took a sled in the face on the morning after the world champs. Good thing she is working on an education in the health care industry or she might have flipped out.

Greatest Distance Traveled
This gentleman traveled from the steamy weather of Florida just to attend the Four Square World Championships in Bridgton, ME, on Feb 28, 2009. This makes him the one contender who traveled the greatest distance for the love of the game.
It's also important to note that in his gym bag he was carrying not only his athletic "Millertyme" jersey but also this stylish women's wig and a pair of plaid footie-style pajamas which were all showcased at different stages of the evening.
Thank you, Peter Lowell
Squarefour would like to issue an official thank you to Peter Lowell, the head honcho at the Lakes Environmental Association in Bridgton, ME, who dreamed up the Four Square World Championships so many years ago. It's clear that without his initiative and hard work that the Champs would never have gotten off the ground nor would they have grown into such an excellent event.
Peter is an excellent and gracious host, awesome caretaker of the world championship torch and, as you can see here, he is an excellent extreme sled rider the likes of which no one in Maine has ever seen before.
UPDATE! Peter writes back:
"Thank you all for your kind and supportive messages. All of us at LEA and in Bridgton have thoroughly enjoyed our friendship with the four square community. I look forward to 2010 and will throw in a few twists to keep the event fresh. Please visit us in the summer for a whole new experience. We will outfit you with kayaks or will try to get you on the water torpedo. Thanks to Squarefour and Sean for making the organizing much easier!" - Peter Lowell
