Here are some insider tips to fully enjoy the event:

Pizza and snacks will be served at 5:00 so all the competitors are fueled for the competition.

Parents and friends are encouraged to attend to cheer. (and laugh)  We’ll be in the big outdoor ring, and the weather looks perfect. Please feel free to bring chairs.

The team with the most donations over their goal is the winner. Goal is number of team members times five.

The Events:

 Blind Buggy Race

3 team members are competing

2 members are blindfolded and the third can see.

Sighted team member must tell the blindfolded members where to pull the cart as they navigate though an obstacle course.

Timed event.

Helmet Toss

1 Team member competes

Competitor will throw a helmet as far as they can.

Farthest toss wins.

Audience, please be on the lookout for shanked tosses!

Blanket Race

3 team members compete

1 member will be in the front of the sheet, and the other two are under the sheet and cannot see.

Teams will ‘race’ the length of the big outdoor, trying to stay in the sheet.

Timed event.

Dance

Teams choose the number of competitors.

Teams choose a song and create a dance, and must use buckets as props.

Knollwood Kid for life Shelby will judge the competitors, based on originality, use of buckets, and all around silliness.

Her bribe of choice is cold, hard, fake money.

Relay

All teammates will compete.

Our course designers are hard at work designing a relay worthy of the Olympics.

It will surely include wheelbarrows, running, and who knows what else.

Timed event.

We’re looking forward to an entertaining evening in support of the Food Pantry of Waukesha County.

Great thanks to everyone who donated food kits and money to the pantry at a time of year when they need it most.

If you'd like to join a team, check donations are still welcome until Friday.  Heck, they’re welcome even if you don’t want to join the fun! Every little bit helps.

See you at the pizza party!
