The goal of the sweeping competition was to see who was able to get all the leaves off of the rug the fastest. The winner would receive a prize. Everyone would stop to cheer on the contest.

The stage was filled with handmade decorations. Each orange balloon had a face drawn on them and each had its own little bucket filled with leaves at the bottom.
