Cougar Bash

I volunteered to help with the Bash this year. I haven't helped the past two years because we have been having major back surgeries in '07 & '08. I was a bit uneasy about making my game booth. They kept telling me to do it like last year's. Just like last year. Well, that doesn't help me any. I am a visual person. Show me what you want, and I can do it. Needless to say, I had some insecurities about what I came up with. I don't do instant creativity. I require a lot of stress, second-guessing myself, and comparison with others before I can create!

So I walk in the gym Friday to set up my area, and this is next to me, complete with belly dancing music and authentic bellydancing belt, videos, and morroccan food in a crockpot. Am I being punked?

(Julie's setup was really cool--fortunately for me she was the exception, not the rule!)

Because here was the set up for my area:
Complete with handmade foam eggrolls and 2 Wok's! (woo hoo, exciting) It turned out okay. The kids thought my race was really fun once they started watching. They actually waited in line to do the "eggroll wok" race. LOL
Hand use was not allowed. They had to get the eggroll with their chin, race down & drop them in a wok. The first one to get all 4 eggrolls in their wok won the race.

They kinda resemble large turds, huh!?

My good friend from high school, Christy,whom I just retouched with on Facebook, helped me figure out how to make the "eggrolls". I ended up using small bubble wrap for the filling. It made them bounce out of the wok, which made the game more fun, actually. The I rolled brown felt, then brown foam over that, and hot glued them together. There were "hula hawaii", "walk like an egyptian" booths that were funny to watch, too.
