We took it to the streets this past July FF 2016 in hopes of
reviving our most requested Community Participation Project (CPP) to date,
“Rock’n the Pollock” action painting.
The four large pieces that were completed will be seen again, as some
type of clothing ala Hoard Couture. Last
year we made about 30 pieces of art for purchase from the canvases created and
many of them are sitting in storage so we won’t be doing that again. The
displayable works of art we created from past projects dating back to the 2014
Stick Figure Challenge will be included in our sidewalk sale in late August. Be
sure to stop and shop for your office, lobby, or meeting rooms.
We will not be offering a Community Participation Project
this next FF, Hall of Fame weekend, as there is just so much going on. The
focus of FF’s has changed so it is time to take a break and consider how to
best use our time, energy and resources to promote our business. Our Question
of the Month will remain for now.
Did you happen to stop in and see our new dressing room? It
is a scale replica of the TARDIS from the Dr. Who BBC televisions series, built
by special request of the Doctor himself. And yes, it really is bigger on the
inside! Below are this month’s responses and if you are interested in past
answers, we do have laminated copies of all the past questions hanging on the big
board for your reading pleasure.

I love this list, so many fond memories of doing many of
these things as well. But sorry to note that my own kids did not…..our
generation and the current one seem to have overscheduled our children with
classes, camps and programs and been too afraid of the boogey man after dark to
allow them to roam free and make their own fun. If your kids are young, look
over this list and if you need to know how to play ghost in the graveyard or
find fun in a creek for hours on end, we will be happy to explain it to you!
Thanks to all who came out to play.
