Alton Bay Winter Carnival 2006

Island Girl · 01-05-2006, 08:53 AM

I was thinking of painting the crib orange... to match the orange in the winnie.com logo.

Then putting a large logo on the front of the crib and smaller ones on each side. (RG and I have discussed this part)

Other decorations could be added. I do like the white tyvek suit idea, though they may be expensive.

IG - how about painting the crib blue, to match the lake??

Any Question?
Blue over orange gets my vote.
The tyvek suits are disposable so I am hoping they are relatively inexpensive.

The skis are set to go! I was very surprised to find them caked with rust, thank goodness I’m handy with a Dremel. (Don’t try this with your good skis!) After the rust removal I buffed out the big scratches and applied some wax called Waxagra.

(Found it at Play it Again Sports.) The directions say: For long lasting, slick lubrication, apply a thin layer of wax to a warm base. Allow to dry 2-3 minutes and buff in with something soft and sexy!

(Now I need new lingerie!)

Today, when I should have been taking care of other business, I took an old plastic sled, packed down the hill and tried it out. Then I took it in, cleaned up the scratches and applied two coats of wax. WOO HOO what a ride and what a difference! The bed race skis should be wonderful!!! (I hope!)

I got side-tracked yet again.

Maybe we could have an online contest for snowmen or snow sculptures that are lake related?
(This would not be my entry, I can do better.

Did you see what happened to Clark Griswold when he used the wax on the snow saucer in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation? Let's be careful out there, RG, we need you at the Festival in Feb.

RG: Thanks! I've been looking for a new avatar! Yet another day when you did not get your chores done? (At least you'll have less lingerie to wash!!) You are too funny. (And is that a blonde wig?) The snow"MAN" will be prone to "blonde" moments!!

(PS - I hear there is a lingerie item available at the winni.com store if you need to restock)
