GATHERING ACTIVITIES

torp · 03-10-2005, 01:12 PM

Has anybody been to a successful gathering? We are looking to have one in Texas on the 23rd of April. Any ideas on things to do would be appreciated. One thing I was thinking of was a "Name that ingredient" contest. Where you make say mashed potatoes out of cauliflower and someone has to guess what was used instead of potatoes....
Hey any idea will help, if it was just guys we would sit around drink beer and tell lies, but we want to do something constructive at out gathereing...lol

If you are looking for organized activities, this site has some good get aquainted ideas.
We usually just eat and talk at the Houston gathering, but then we are usually just together for an hour or two. The big TX gathering will be for a whole afternoon, so it might be a good idea to come up with a few things to do.

When we did our big one in fort worth, RMBIGRIG made these amazing gift baskets and drew names for them.....

but other than that we just sat around and talked and ate and laughed and got to know each other..

but I think we can be on the look out for fun stuff to do too.

great job y'all!!1

I went to the "get acquainted" site.. I really like the perfect match one... THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN!

I like the george washington carver one too.. that sounds like fun!

I like truth or dare.. no dare.. FUN!

I have oodles and oodles of index cards and paper.. if we want to do any type of games, I'll be glad to get all the stuff together...

I'll also bring the "I AM_______. labels to stick on our clothes.............

is there anything else y'all need me to do??
