Team Funnel is once again bringing the beach home for the fifth
annual Memorial Day Boogie for charity! The theme was so popular
last year, that we've decided to up the ante and add a whole bunch
of new games, more contests, and more tropics! Get a taste of the
tropical fun in the air and on the ground while we help raise money
for a great cause.
We'll be playing games on the ground, in the sky, and probably
even in the pond, with prizes to be awarded each day and a few surprise
toys to be handed out. In addition to the games and contests, you'll
have a chance to relax down by the bonfire with great food, drink,
and song during Saturday night's luaua, satisfy your cravings with
sweets at the bake sale, and maybe even participate in a record
attempt!
If you were there in years past, you know the kind of fun we have. If
you've never experienced a TF boogie before, here's what you can
expect:
Charity Raffle -- Our most popular Boogie event. Close
to 100 prizes to be given away, from Pack Jobs to Massages, Clothing, Gear
Discounts, Restaurant Gift Certificates and more.
Check out the list of sponsors we've confirmed and buy your tickets online today!
Silent Auction -- Remember this? This is where we lay
out a number of items. You buy a bidder's number and write your bid on the
bidding form laying in front of the item. Check the sheet throughout the day,
and if someone bids higher, it's your turn to out bid them. Who ever has the
highest bid at the end of the auction, wins.
Cook Out -- Don't forget the Saturday night cook
out. If you haven't been to Skydive Chicago and seen the docks around
the pond and the wonderful bonfire pit, you just can't appreciate
how beautiful this is. With our very own Paul Wold doing the grilling
again, what more could you ask for?
Live Music -- Of course, our cook out just wouldn't
be right without the live band. Can you guess who we're having this year?
If you said Serilian, you're right. Some of the best music to come out
of Chicago, and we've got 'em. They've become a tradition at our Memorial
Boogie and we're happy to announce that we'll be doubling the music this year
with another band on Saturday night.
Bake Sale -- This usually doesn't last long. In
fact, it's lasted less than an hour in some years!. Last year, Fireman
Phil brought his famous cheesecake that was a crowd pleaser. This
year, I've been assured the product quantity will increase. But
. . . get 'em while they're hot and don't miss out! Do you think
your famous dessert should be included? Email Keith and we'll be
sure to save room on the table for you!
TaterHead Competition -- Last year, this was a
blast. It was lots of fun, and made for great video! This year,
we're bringing it back again, with a twist. The idea behind this
is to put together a Mr. Potato Head in freefall.
More Games! -- The ole spud is joined this year
by some new games. We'll have creeper races, accuracy contests,
guessing games, and a whole bunch of other games on the ground,
in the air, and maybe even in the pond!
Record Attempt -- We'll once again be trying to
set a TeamFunnel Record for a BigWay over the weekend as well. Come
join in (if you have a number), or get your number on Saturday and
join the jumps on Sunday! Or just come watch the fun and spectacle!
Other Stuff -- If you've been to the Team Funnel
Memorial Boogie before, you know there's tons of stuff not mentioned
here. It's all happening again this year. If you haven't been before,
you'll just have to come out this year and find out for yourself.
There's just too much to list here. Things like the Bonfires . .
. Organizing by World Champions . . .Camping . . . Canoeing . .
. Horseback Riding . . . Jello Shots . . . Heated Showers . . .
Heated Bunkhouse . . . Fishing . . . Skydiving . . . etc . . . etc
