  2. To regular folks, that seems like quite an unbalanced ratio: 2000 people being fed and entertained by 10 families.

    But in Short Creek, 2000 people ARE 10 families.

    Sounds like a fun party!

  5. Go back to the old one's.
    Have a cake walk.

    Take a childs wading pool and take little plastic ducks with numbers on the bottom and let the child pick one. Everyone gets a prize.

    Find a Orient catalog. I will see if I can find an address or website. It has tons of cheap gifts for games.

    You have a lot of carpenters and artists. Take a 4X6 plyboard and paint a picture of clown body and cut out spot for a face. Let kids throw wet sponges at the person's face. It is safe.
    Build a maze out of hay or grow a maze.
    Have a spinner game or bottles and rings.

    I guess you don't play dominos, or 42. Adults like 42 tournaments.

    Fishing pond, poles made from dowels with with string and magnets.

    Sell your potato products, homemade goodies and ice cream.
    Canned goods.

    Have some music, a costume contest or decorate your bicyles and pick a theme and have a parade. The kids will love that and crepe paper is cheap.

    Or paint a pumpkin or use a cheaper gourd contest. Arylics are cheap and safe.

    Have a art contest.

    I will stop now.

  8. Val is just mad that he can't have the last say in every thread. You'll notice that everything he said there. . .
    "box each others’ ears, shovels to shove stuff down each others’ throats, hoes for the hoes, rakes for raking certain ones over the coals, and yard bags (of course) for the bags umungya."
    . . .was exactly what he has been doing all along.
