BetterMostian Activity at the Brokeback BBQ2007 in Estes Park, Colorado

<< < (3/8) > >>

Front-Ranger:
I need more votes!! It won't be long before I will be starting to line up these activities and make reservations!!

Front-Ranger:
I'm going to add more options, including games ( Soccer, Croquet, Ultimate Frisbee, Archery, Scavenger Hunts, Volleyball, Capture the Flag) and hayrides. You can revise your votes if you wish!!

LauraGigs:
Just to clarify "scene re-enactments" further, here are some possible ideas:

Solo Impromptu Line Reading. Contestants are handed a piece of paper with a line. Such as: "You pair a deuces lookin' for work, I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here pronto" or  "I know that I shall meet you . . .  water walkin' Jee-sus, take me awaaaaaay".  (Not the heavier stuff. This is all about having fun.)

Impressions.  Such as:  The Cassie Hair-Swing.  Jack Leaning Against the Truck Provacatively.  Ennis Running After Pack Mules Cursing.  The Jack Rodeo Dance.  Pantomimed Chilean Sheep-Dragging.

Impromptu Dialogues.  Volunteers will be teamed up to read short scenes together.  Such as:  "Hey Monroe, is Alma here? She's in the condiments aisle. The wha? Uh, ketchup. Thanks."

LaShawn Line Reading  (Without stumbling. Extra credit if in one breath.)
"It's a good thing that you and Lu happened along when you did, or else we'd still be stuck on the side of the road in that dern pickup. I told Randall we oughta take the car, 'course he don't ever listen to me. He wouldn't listen to me if he was goin' deaf tomorrow. I told him it takes more than chewing gum and baling wire to fix that pickup. Well, he's never been very mechanical though."
or:
"When I was right out of SMU I coulda had my pick of pretty much any job in North Dallas, so my pick was Neiman Marcus which was a disaster because, honey, where clothes is concerned, I got no resistance, I was spending more than I made, more than Randall ever will make. We come out here thinking ranching was still big hats and Marlboros, boy, were we behind the times!"
or:
"…and then I pledged Tri Delt at SMU and I sure never thought I'd end up in a pokey little place like Childress, but then I met old Randall here at an Aggie game, and he was an animal husbandry major. So we been here a month, he got the foreman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch. Like it or not, here I am!"


These ideas may look daunting, but they'd be a blast!

moremojo:
I voted for Miniature Golf/horseshoes. I haven't played Miniature Golf in years, and I know I would enjoy that. I'm also thinking in terms of something that wouldn't prove too strenuous for my out-of-shape forty-year-old body, in addition to something that would be inclusive of my accompanying sixty-four-year-old honorary Brokie mom!

Front-Ranger:
I added a few things--there's a sandy beach at Estes Lake. Surrey bikes are tandem bikes where two can ride side-by-side. The Fall River Hydroplant is a historic working hyropower facility.

Yes, you can change your vote if you've already voted!
