Shopping List/Materials
- Bingo: Just print out bingo sheets. Update the items inside the squares if you feel they need to be updated.
- Rat Tails: Cut/rip up old unwanted t-shirts donated from exec. There should be some spared from 2010 in storage
- Tug of war: Rope (from Economy Hardware) should be in student center storage
- Jelly Eating Contest: Around 3 buckets of Jelly (2 for the actual contest, one for prizes) from Cmart
- Baobao eating contest: We got around 20-25 pineapple buns from baobao. We ordered the night before and then picked it up the morning of.
- Water Balloon Toss: These were hard D: All the drug stores didn't have balloons left by October because apparently they weren't in season so make sure to get these OVER THE SUMMER. Luckily in 2010 there were some left over from the previous year in storage.
- Also get pocky and gummies for prizes. Just be under budget and you're good to go :D
Attendance
- 2010: ~40-50 people. It was a huge success!
Notes
- When booking Kresage, make sure to say that there is no food even there is >_>" This is so that they don't get paranoid and start investigating.
- A better way to do family jeopardy is to ask all families the SAME question for each round. Or else they complain that it isn't fair...which it probably wasn't X_X
