Charlie Undorf of West Chester, Pa., has no competition as he wins his heat in the sack race.
One a few Hula-Hoop competitors remain as they compete for the top three places.
Youngsters hold on to their eggs tight as they run to the finish line in the egg race.
Racers try to not to drop their eggs as they race to the finish line.
Tenley, left, Jen, and Hayden Hazzard of Lewes find some shade as they wait for the games to begin.
Taking part in their 11th games are (l-r) Devin Walke, Sonia Walke, Layla Walke, Naiya Mainigi and Riya Mainigi.
Hunter O’Neill is dressed for the holiday on Second Street in downtown Lewes.
