+Shop99er Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Spring Fling 2009 will be May 2nd in Port Orchard, Washington. It's one of the larger of the Washington state events and we go all out for it. This will be the 5th annual Spring Fling events and they just get bigger and better. In addition to the Adult GPS Accuracy game and the Kids GPS Toss game we have a Frog Flinging contest for the adults and a Chicken Chuckin contest for the kids. And if you thought that might be enough for an event we also have a Shark Hunt (scavenger hunt) for the kids complete with the Shark Master handing out real plastic shark tooth necklaces!!! Now THAT should be enough? Right? Nope, we have a mountain of smoked brisket smothered with Rudy's Sause (no I didn't spell that wrong) directly from Texas and, oh yeah, we've brewed a special beer for the event! Now THAT'S enough!! Needless to say it's an expensive event to put on so we are asking the coin community for help. To help pay for the cost of the event we hold a day long raffle.. here's where you come in... and we need raffle items. We are asking for your sponsorship of Spring Fling this year. We will put your icon and raffle donation on our web site as official one each Spring Fling sponsors and you will have our eternal gratitude. We are NOT accepting cash donations! What we need are geocoins. If you can help please email and let us know. Edited February 16, 2009 by Flying Spaghetti Monster Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 All this shark talk got my attention How about a set of Landsharkz 'APPLE' geocoins? ... and the sooner we get our donation to you the sooner you put our logo up on your event page... I remember this from last year! I'll have to send the APPLE edition of this year's Landsharkz coin later though... it's still 'die art' . Quote Link to comment

YOU BREAKA YOU MAMA'S HEART *sniff* TTUMS After the incident with the flamingo and the chainsaw, they cut off my internet, increased my meds, and put family visitations back to once a month. I told Mom not to bring the flamingo, she knows I hate pink. Oh, and the volcano thing...it's just a feeling. Kinda like how I knew Obama would win, and how others would start creating imitations of popular selling coins. It's a gift. Compliments my ability to make fruit levitate. Quote Link to comment
