[QUOTE="Star*, post: 81412, member: 4964"] D3, I don't like clowns either. Ever since I read Stephen Kings book -the cover had a clown on it. I mean I loved Bozo as a kid, watched him every Saturday, but now? Blech....and wanna know something even more strange? Without me ever saying a word to anyone about my clownphobia....my difficult child can't stand them either. It's genetic I am sure. Makes me wonder why I married and divorced a clown. Curiosity perhaps? Yes, ask if you can swap out sand for tarps. Bank sand here in SC is sand that we just dig out of a bank or small hill. It's color is more orangy, it's a little finer than beach sand but considering millions of years ago most of SC was an ocean? We're blessed with Sandy runs, sandy roads. I'm not kidding I had a load of it dumped in my yard for smoothing out my property and I put a free sign on what I had left after I ran a backhoe to create the "perfect" lawn, and it was GONE! I have even had people stop on the "dirt" road (some ask some dont) to dig this stuff up in 5 gallon buckets for their kids sand box. WHich made me think.....if the tarps are put NEAR the canoe and boat landing, maybe the city would allow you to put the sand IN the water after you're done. ????? I think alligators would like a place to bask. I love those old fashioned games...like: Spoon and egg race. You get a spoon I get a spoon and I start out with and egg on the end of my spoon. I race to you and transfer the egg to your spoon without hands just my mouth and the spoon. Burlap sack races, team with leg tied together races, human wheelbarrow races, orange transfer.....keep it under your neck and race to your partner and transfer the orange with only your neck to theirs. You can use grapefruits for adults. Are you going to have the Florida Orange growers association show up and offer free OJ? How about asking the Red Cross to put on demonstrations of CPR? Have you asked the police to set up a McGruff the dog booth with free fingerprinting and ID cards for the kiddies? How about asking the local fire department to show up with a ladder truck for the kids to look at and fire safety handouts? Most of these places will do these public services for free. Call your local chapter of the Chamber of Commerce too, they'll have some ideas to help. OH you should have pony rides. And if there is an animal shelter in your neighborhood, ask them to come and bring a couple adoptees for the day. Maybe someone will take home a best forever friend. ENjoy! Star [/QUOTE]
