This Saturday the first annual Winter Classic is scheduled to take place at our place in Emyvale. The genesis of the Winter Classic took place in Souris at Chris’ house in early November when he invited the folks and Laine and I out to his place for an afternoon of fun contests of skill, a bonfire and some good eats. It was dubbed the Fall Classic and Laine ended up winning the day and the trophy that day, and we had such a good time we decided to do one every season, Fall in Souris, Winter in Emyvale, Spring in North River and an as yet undetermined location/host for the Summer Classic.
The games lined up so far include:
Oudoor:
Biathlon: snow shoe to stations to shoot icicles with an air pistol for a point each. 4 possible points.
Ice putting: Four putts from the edge of our ice “green” for a point for each “hole in one” 4 posssible points.
Snow shoes: get a point for knocking over a shoe with a snowball. 4 possibl points.
Bomber run: target downhill enemies with snowsled, four shots at targets with a point a “hit” 4 possible points.
Indoor:
Crokinole: Four attempts at the “button” for a point a piece. 4 possible points.
Wii Party Games: details to follow. 4 possible points.
Trivial Trivia: randomly assigned 4 trivia questions about Canadian winter, 1 point for each correct answer. 4 possible points.
Hit the sauce: Bring a wing sauce and get 4 points, if a couple brings one sauce they each get 2 points, or 4 each if they bring two. 4 possible points.
What a great idea! That sounds like a lot of fun.
