Awards and goodie bags with cool stuff in them Options

[rick 918-S]

I broke this down into sub groups so we can track each item to conclusion. Only post in the information about awards in the thread.

I read something about this but we need to lock this down.
Who is in charge of Awards.

Are we making stuff or buying stuff?

Either way where's the money coming from?

Are we getting door prizes for participants from vendors?

Are we going to have goodie bags to hand out with "T" shirts and stuff in them?

I vote no sponsors...I dont want this to get out of control on the first event.
The idea is to just get together..and actually have people show up..that would be a first positive step..

914 events are not always attended in droves out this way so we probably can be low key.

If one of our little team here would like to shake a few branches to see if sponsors would like to contribute, go for it.

For awards, I think we can stick with pictures, mounted in frames that represent all our sarcastic thoughts.

I think two awards should be recylable..or re-used.
Best Beater is not an award that should be kept...the previous years winner should choose the next years winner..that would make it alot of fun.
Best Beater should be an egg beater mounted on a wooden plaque.

Same thing with the most creative.
The most creative could be an award built by Chris Foley out of all sorts of used parts welded together into art...
If we get Chris to make this, and then choose the winner...he might also give that person a door prize...
It could be Chris's award to create, choose and give out each year.

For me, anything more than that is fun, but it requires all sorts of admin work to line up and I am not sure the vendors really get anything of value out of it...just my thoughts.
