Hi all. Just talked to Lynda and she has asked me to do some games/activities for the group.

Friday Afternoon/Evening Jelly Bean Guess: Come meet your Wagon Masters and pick up your welcome pack! There will be a jar on the Wagon Masters Picnic Table (Mike & Lynda) full of jelly beans. When you stop by to pick up your welcome pack, fill out the form and guess the amount of jelly beans. There will be one prize for the adult and one for the child who guesses how many jelly beans are in the jar, without going over. If there is a tie, we'll have a drawing. Prize will be given out around the fire Saturday night (and the jelly beans will be passed around for eating!).

Saturday Afternoon Candybar Bingo: For all kids (kids that are too young to know all their numbers need to bring a 'helper' with them), we'll be having Candybar Bingo. I'll try to work around the canal ride, so all the kids that wish to, can take part in both activities. You need to bring a full size candybar for each card you play (limit of three) and we'll play several games, depending on how many kids we have. I'll bring the game, and the markers (cherrio's!) and you bring the full size candybars. If you win, you'll win several candybars.

Please sign up here if your child is planning on playing Candybar Bingo, and if you would, mark if your child is going on the canal ride. If none of the kids and parents of kids will be on the canal ride, we can have the Candybar Bingo at the same time as the ride..

Saturday Night New Gift Exchange: We've had requests to bring back the gift exchange. Please bring one item per family to exchange. Have your item wrapped or put in a gift bag. You'll pick one item, and either keep it, or trade it. Your item must be new, and should cost about $10 (some under, some over is fine). This will take place right after our potluck dinner. Items can be camping items, household items, outdoor items..whatever you want to bring.

Because the campground is offering many items for the kids, and some may want to dig for diamonds in the morning, early afteroon, and/or go on the boat ride, we may not be doing kids candy bar bingo. I will have the bingo game with me, and it can be arranged to still have it, if the campground things are not found to be what the kids want to do.

We will still have:

Oh good, I was hoping someone would still want to play. Yes, adults are welcome, they just can't win and take the candybars LOL. Maybe if an adult wins they can take one candybar, and we can continue playing until a child wins to get more.

I went shopping and got my exchange gift. You are all going to want it! Heck, I want it! I picked up a couple of small prizes for the jellybean guessing contest also.
