The 31st annual Superman Days in Metropolis, Illinois is this weekend. The festival honors the Superman franchise and all that the superhero symbolizes. People parade around in all kinds of costumes and Metropolis fills up with all things small town fair: Rickety rides, cheap crap for sale, and fried things. There are also costume contests, strong man competitions, and comic book workshops. This year, Pirate competed in the Superdog contest as photographer Jimmy Olsen. He wore a bow tie collar with The Daily Planet press pass on it, and got second place for the "Longest Nose/Nosiest Reporter/Clark Kent Award."
:):):) YAY! Pirate looks so happy...you would have no idea how hot and tired he was! I bet he took a long nap once y'all got home. So fun. I'm so glad we went, and I'm sorry we arrived too late to cheer Pirate on to his 2nd place victory!
