GAMES & ACTIVITIES: Hiking, volleyball, relay games, parade floats?

We've had a few suggestions about games and activities. More ideas are welcome, as well as commitments from people who are willing to organize any of these activities.

Anybody have any ideas for games you'd like to try out?

RELAY RACES: Doris suggested reviving a relay game that Barb and Amy introduced to us years ago: it think they made it up and it was hilarious. Anyone remember people running around with underwear on their heads? Barb said she is willing to put this together. Amy, are you willing will help her revive (or reinvent) this game? Any other ideas for relay or team games? The sillier the better, and those that allow people of all ages to play on each team seem to work best.

HISTORICAL HIKE? A hike along the Boone River has been suggested. Since there are many who do not know the history of Hook's Point, the dragoons, etc., maybe this could be a historical interpretive hike. What do you think? If you like the idea, who is knowledgeable enough to lead the hike? (MaryJo? Brian?)

VOLLEYBALL: I don't know if there was much organization to the volleyball last year, but somebody had to get the equipment and set up the net. Is anyone willing to be responsible for this?

SQUIRT GUNS: These seemed to be a big hit last year. It would be fun to have an assortment of them available again. Should this be a BYO thing? Does anybody have a bunch of extras they can bring along for those who are flying in or don't happen to own one?

PARADE FLOATS: If we decide to do the hay wagons in the Stratford parade, it would be fun to have some simple decorations this time. Anyone interested in planning that? It might be really fun to have a barrel of water and some big squirt guns on each float to shoot at each other and or at parade spectators--especially if it's hot.

Let us know by comments if you're interested in helping with any of these activities.
