Every year our local School Foundation has an auction.  This year, the theme was Superheroes.  You were encouraged to come as your favorite superhero.

Robin, The Boy Wonder, was there.

Here he is schmoozing with Clark Kent, aka Superman.

I guess I don’t know my superheroes well enough to recognize them all, but I’m sure this superhero is fighting for our school children everyday.

As is this one.

Is there really a superhero called Rip Current?

Ah, I do remember the Incredible Hulk.

And Popeye, of course!

I didn’t think Cat Woman was a hero, but, whatever.

And Poison Ivy???  But she sure looks cute.

You didn’t have to limit yourself to a comic strip or movie superhero.  To some of us, superhero means different things.  Like Gene Simmons, for example!?!

I must tell you that, many years ago, I had this lad in my preschool class.  See how tall he looks compared to everyone else?

Perhaps these boots have something to do with it.

Ah, I like Ghandi as a superhero.

I planned to dress up as Abigail Scott Duniway.  She was an Oregon Trail Pioneer and fighter for woman’s suffrage.  All those women are my heroes.

The auction was a huge success.  Everyone involved is a superhero for our kids!
