Barn Crawl- Crawlin' For A Cure

Brian came up for the weekend to help out with the First Annual Barn Crawl! I am part of the Relay for Life here in Henderson County and my team decided to throw a fundraiser to help with this year's relay. People might be familiar with Bar Crawls, well as many of you know around here there is farm after farm after farm... and as true "farmers" we decided to have a Barn Crawl instead. There were three stops on the crawl and everyone had a blast. We haven't had a final count yet, but we are thinking at least 250 were present last night, with even more registered! Hopefully we were able to make a large profit, all going to the American Cancer Society.

It was HOT! This picture was taken later in the evening, after having been outside since 1:00! We all looked so pretty!

This is my friend Katie (a Kane Cousin) spraying me with a water bottle. At each stop there were different games to play. In this particular game, contestants had to blow up a balloon and then "spray" it to the finish line while keeping it in the air. I might try this with my students!

Me, my BFF Jeanie, and her cousin Katie... we were posing for lots of different pictures. The Mardi Gras beads were another game/fundraiser. At the beginning of the crawl everyone was given one necklace. We told them to earn beads any way possible (no worries it was all PG) and whoever had the most at the end of the night would receive a bottle of wine. What ended up happening was people coming to the registration table and purchasing beads. I think one guy came up and bought $60 worth! Sadly, I didn't win! I had four at one time (thanks to my parents and Brian for handing yours over!) but ended up with just one by the end.

Bags Tournament!

Transportation for the evening! Seriously. There were four cattle trailers transporting everyone from stop to stop. I never got the chance to experience it though. I was in the air conditioned van! HA :) I was helping transport late arrivals to the stops (so they could leave their car at the final spot)

At one point there were so many people in the van, that Brian and I had to ride in the storage space! It was crowded, especially since he is so tall!!! OUCH!

Brian in the storage space! SO MUCH FUN!

For $30 (early registration) people left with a t-shirt, coozie, beads (possibly), and received a nice meal and all the drinks they wanted. We even had some register at the door (for $40). It was a successful event and I know we will do it again next year.

Any takers???
