"We've never done it before, so we'll see how it goes," said Jason Olsen, a Parks and Recreation employee who worked the Rock-Paper-Scissors game.

Olsen called out "One, Two, Three!" and the participants faced off with one of three hand gestures.

Although the event drew mostly children, some adults, like Wilson, faced off against the young people.

"I think it's fun, exciting," Norman resident Linda King said of the competition. "Especially when they had the woman (playing) with the little 5-year-old girl."

Jeffry Hunt, 27, was the final winner of a certificate and passes to the Westwood pool.

"It was fun," he said. "It was the first time I ever participated in something like this. I used to play (Rock-Paper-Scissors) as a kid."

Hunt came to the park Saturday with his wife and two children. He planned to stick out any rain that came to the park "and then watch the fireworks from my van."

At the watermelon stand, Lt. Cathy Davis of the Civil Air Patrol summed up what a lot of people felt as she looked on the bright side of the inclement weather.

"I think they're grateful it's finally started to cool off," she said.
