Labor Day Festivities

Welcome all, I understand that the Clans will all gather one more time at the Hole In The Wall to say farewell to the summer season. It will be great having all of you back in camp once again. Let's see, the interior of the Gazebo has been stained, however it does need a little touch up and the roof has not yet been completed, so it needs the first coat of stain. Firewood needs to be cut, stack and tarped. Could use a load of pea gravel to go around the fire pit. The fire pit needs to be stained the same color as the roof. The cook tent floor needs to be repaired from the damage caused when the Bull Buffalo tried to show us his tap dancing moves. Just kidding, all of these chores will be competed in time during September and early October as life slows down a bit. Nothing there that your hosts cannot do in a couple of days time. This last holiday weekend is devoted to fun, games, and just sitting around the fire pit.
However, no assembly of this many clan members can pass without the introduction of something new, exciting, competitive, entertaining and something everyone can enjoy. Consequently, with the authority vested to me by being the Exalted Grand Poopah, I hereby proclaim the following:

PROCLAMATION

Be It Further Resolved, although this game has various names, for our use it will be referred to as the Bedard Bola Ball Banger or BBBB.
