Boating Forum Family Day
I have deleted my original text/post as I feel this may cause some confusion because of the developing nature of this event Â…IÂ’m sure it has been quoted in this thread if you wish to view it.
Boating Forum Family Day will be held on Saturday May 14th at Rotary Community Park/beach in Lake Havasu at 11:00 am. BFFD will be held between the buoyed swim area and the wash to the south of it. The games will begin at noon and will last a couple of hours. This beach/park is accessible from both land and water via the south end of the channel and is located on the mainland across from the island. BFFD is a family style picnic with games for the kids and adults and was conceived as a way of bringing boating families from the boards together for a fun day at the lake.
I will post some pictures of the beach and our location on or about the third of May to help those that arenÂ’t familiar with Rotary Beach find it from the water.
Boating Forum Family Day Games & Prizes
• Shoe Toss… Age groups are 1 to 5 years old, 6 to 10 years old and 11 to 17 years old. Align kids in one long row and have them flick their shoe/sandal off their foot as far as they can. The child with the longest toss wins.
• Water Balloon Toss…This game is open to everyone. Two person teams will toss the water balloon to each other while getting further and further apart with each successive toss. The last team with an unbroken balloon wins.
• Numbers Game… Age groups are 1 to 5 years old, 6 to 10 years old, 11 to 17 years old and adults. Five teams with numbered sheets of colored paper will attempt to align themselves in the correct order as the numbers are called out. If a team messes up they will be eliminated and the remaining teams will compete against each other. The last remaining team wins.
• SpongeBob SquarePants Bucket Brigade… Age groups are 1 to 5 years old, 6 to 10 years old, 11 to 17 years old and adults. The object of this game is for your team to fill the bucket first. With teams of five, dip the sponge into the lake then pass it to the person behind you. The last person wrings the sponge out into the bucket then runs to the front of the line. He/she then dips the sponge into the lake then passes it to the person behind them. The process repeats itself until the bucket is full. The first team to fill the bucket wins.
• Hula-Hoop Contest… Age groups are 1 to 5 years old, 6 to 10 years old, 11 to 17 years old and adults. Maybe boys against girls. The last person to let it drop wins.
Raffle Tickets and Prizes
Each child that attends BFFD will receive a raffle ticket, a Rex Marine sticker, a squirt gun, ring pop and a bottle of bubbles at the beginning of the event. Each child on a winning team or each child who wins a game will receive an additional raffle ticket thereby increasing their chances at winning a prize or multiple prizes in the raffle. After all the games have been played, the prizes, including the hula-hoops and SpongeBob Buckets will be raffled off. The holders of the winning raffle tickets will have their choice of any of the prizes. This will continue until all the prizes are claimed. Any toys that aren’t claimed will be sent to “The Land of Misfit Toys” where they will remain until Santa rescues them. The raffle tickets are only for the kids.

That would be a good spot for those launching from Havasu. There are bathroom facilities, and playground areas. Also, those that are boatless can walk right down and join in the festivities, or for those with little ones, people could come and go from their crew and meet back later.
Rotary park is the area that if your leaving the channel, it is the cove area on the left. Grass area park.
Where in , kids would love that, even though they throw the shocker themselves

I would definately go for that.
