[QUOTE="DDD, post: 77158, member: 35"] We have adults (and big teens) who are going to be competiting in BIG canoe races from about 9 to 3 on a Saturday. We have people to cook hot dogs, hamburgers etc. to sell. We have drinks covered. We want people to stay at the park and spend money AND have fun. There will be families with children and probably quite a few old people as our location has an older population. I'm sorting through ideas and I thought of having tables set up under big tents with competitive games of backgammon, checkers, ??? with prizes being donated gift certificates. I just can't quite grasp how to "oversee" strangers playing games. In life.. there are difficult child cheaters as well as difficult child children. Obviously, the organization wants everything to be nice and happy! LOL! We are thinking of a waterballoon contest based on approximate age group. That should be fun and easy. We are thinking about having a dump truck load of sand brought in and then having a sandcastle building contest by age. Hmmm. Don't know if difficult child kids would start throwing sand! Bummer. Thinking about having a 50/50 "Boatload Bowl" where tickets are sold and then every hour a number is drawn and 50% of the $$'s are given away and the other half goes for the cause. We have a clown group coming (I hate clowns) who will do face painting. We are giving away pith helmets and then there will be prizes given to those who paint their pith best (age divided, of course). Phew/Whew! All we need is some table games so people don't leave early! DDD [/QUOTE]
