Field Day!!!!
War of the Wards!!! Saturday, July 25th, 2009
Battery Park • 10:00am (in the morning)
to 12 or so.
(It’s a little earlier this year because Pride is the same day of The Ramble and they rented the park becuase they are all organized - but they are letting us do Field Days and they don’t really start until 1)
- That’s right! A casual, “all in good fun competition.
For the purposes of this event, the city will be split down Bank street.
All those from out of town wishing to participate are welcome to compete for the side of his or her latitudinal orientation according to Bank Street.
(44°28’N)
The competition will consist of several events that most should be familiar with from grade school, ending, of course,
in a all-out TUG O’ WAR.
Sign up starts at 9:45am. Sign up at your own risk.
This is a non-sponsored event, just for the fun of it.
E-mail the address below if interested in judging, scoring, bringing watermelons and/or competing.
Please indicate name and for which side you will be competing.
(Pictured) Arm Wrestling and Water Balloon Toss.
There are many more events, including Shotput with a Bowling Ball and the infamous “20/20″. You don’t have to enter any event that you don’t want to. Some events have limited entrees based on the fact that we don’t have all day. The sides have already been chosen, so getting picked last is out of the question.
