Prizes

Postby The Teardrop Nanny » Sat Oct 25, 2008 11:48 am

Mike, thanks for all your effort and thought to "reward" us with prizes. Depending on what you pick/receive you could always let the winner pick their prize from what you might buy or get donated. I'd be happy to donate a free registration to the IRG 3.0 (2010) for a prize and perhaps others holding gatherings elsewhere may be inclined to do likewise.

I've found that some Popular items include things with a teardrop theme...such as a Teardrop clock, mug, T-shirt, etc. lightweight and easy to haul in your tear. Other items include camping flashlights, smaller dutch ovens, and cooking accessories/cookbooks for DO.

There were so many good suggestions given, and I also like the idea of a gold star for bragging rights or a designated thread with the "winners" posted .... kind of like a Wall of Fame. One could locate winners of the design contest, messiest shop, etc. all on one thread!

Thanks again for your thoughtfulness and desire to make this thread a fun one,

Joanie :R

I'm hoping that you all do realize this is a four year old thread, right?

8) Right. Thought we'd spark Mike into another contest.

If Mike came up with a new contest I could donate one of my turned back scratchers like I do for the "Long Haul" winner at some of our gatherings.
I made one for the guy who bought my TD too.
He flew up from Southern California, definitely a "Long Haul" winner. :D Danny

Pumpkin Carving Contest

Postby The Teardrop Nanny » Sun Oct 26, 2008 10:32 am

:) Well, Mike, Christmas is coming, but Halloween is here now!!
We haven't had a pumpkin carving contest since 2005/6?? How about one this week? Another good prize is a knife...Swiss Army, pocket, or kitchen kind and those thin plastic sheets that are super cutting boards. All of these items are small and would haul easily in a TD.

That wouldn't make a very good prize. :thinking:
