lol. I'm up early too to help with set up. We won't be starting until 10 am, but it's nice to get things ready early. Now where'd I put that swimsuit? I think someone was planning on having a seapony race too.

It all went well! We had some nice prizes and everyone walked away with at least 2 prizes.

Whack-a-Fakie was funny! We had the mail man come around the corner and he was looking at us all weird because we were whacking the fakies down this dead end street. He stopped and went slow trying not to run over any. But on his trip back, he hit a few. LOL.

Then we did a modification of the game later on in the pool. We had a large round float and we had people try to get it through the hole. That was funny and more of a challenge. The trick was, we were in the pool at one end and trying to get it through the float ring at the other end. I think one person actually hit the ring but the rest of us never came close. lol.

I had to try to make sure that everyone got something to go home with.

We had tons of snacks and we all went out to TGI Fridays to eat. We were in there for a few hours too just chatting about the boards and ponies and that stuff.

I had 2 people stop by my house on their way back and they bought some more ponies! ^_^v

A few did take pictures and they will be up sometime early next week. We had a total of 8 collectors this year and 3 guests. It's up 2 collectors from last year and only a few of us were repeats. Now if I can get last year's and this year's attendees together, it'll be even nicer next year.

Now to get planning for next year's! Was this a good weekend for everyone for us to try to aim for it again next year at this time?
