Well the park opens at 9 am. I can try to get in early, but don't know if I'll be allowed in. So I'll be setting up from 9 to 10, but figured it'd be a nice time for people who are arriving to center themselves and do some yoga, blindfolded hooping, sustained spinning, and other centering techniques. So If you arrive at 9, there will be stuff to do, but mostly me n some friends doing set up. 9 am on sunday is prudy early, i'm not banking on the fact a lot of people will show at that time. You are totally welcome to come at 9 though!
10-11 - open jam, welcoming time - sign in sheets, 'getting to know you' activities
11-12 - hoop contests w/ small prizes
12-1 - tandem hooping
1-2 - hoop inclusive dance songs (i'm debating keeping this in, but stuff like hokey pokey etc. )
2-3 - Level 1 and 2 training
3-4 Obstacle course and Relay races
4-6 Trick Flow Talent show - (create a video of yourself!)
6-7 open jam and drum circle
7-8 Door prize, auction, 50/50, closing up

must be out of the park by dusk; and need to have it clean!
I can't stress enough to bring a valid state issued I.D. if you plan to drink.
Yes, it's FREE BEER! I think the final flavors are yuengling and lienenkugels sunset wheat.
There will be a ton of other stuff to drink too. coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and various soda, water, etc.
So that's the rough schedule, I'm tweaking things out with friends this week to get everything finalized, so more updates I'm sure will be coming soon!

I'll be doing a silent auction; 5 'themed' baskets....
1. Fire hoop basket
2. make your own hoop kit
3. collapsible hoop (push button style), travel
4. costume kit
5. staying warm for winter kit

each basket has an estimated value of about $95!

The door prize (i think) is a Handmade hoodie, unisex, and everyone gets a ticket for this prize for showing up!

I think tickets will be $5 for an arms length (MY arm, i'll be generous!) and $10 for a wing span.
50/50 is still to be decided. Also donation jars will be set up.
I have a friend who will be vending some clothes and incense, so you may want to bring some cash!
Pittsburgh NORML will be there handing out some free info, so check them out...

uh... I think that's about as complete of a run down of the day that I can give so far.

If the DJ can't make it, do you hoopers have any music / bands / songs that you would like to hear? My boyfriend and 2 others are going to make a bitchin ipod playlist as a back up, and I'd love some input from all of you, because it's for all of you!

Thanks so much for coming and spreading the word, come hungry, come hoopy, come happy!

Thanks, I needed that today! I've had like 3 breakdowns today, not totally related to WHD, but still, it's super nice to be appreciated now and then :) Funny how the universe responds to your needs, and how big something little can be. Gotta love it :) THANK YOU- it means the world to me!
