The 20th Annual Moonin / Noonin Beaver Open
(The World's Longest Running Footbag Tournament)

****Special Instructions for Late Arrivals****
(General details follow)

If you are arriving after dark to the tourney site PLEASE NOTE:

WILLAMETTE MISSION STATE PARK is a "day use only" park.  That is, for 
everyone *except* those at the Beav'.  We have a special dispensation 
to camp and do crazy stuff.  

SO: After dark the park gate is "locked."  AND the gate is about 1 mile 
from where we camp.  That's a long walk, late at night.  Just ask Steve 
"Jungle Juice" Dusablon and Dave "Why did I Drink That Stuff?" Bernard.

HOWEVER:  The gate is actually "dummy locked" which means that unless 
yer a card-carryin' dummy, you can still get in.  

HERE'S THE SECRET:  On the gate there is a small cast-iron box and if 
you reach up under that box, you'll feel a padlock - a padlock that is 
*not* locked!  Take the padlock off, open the gate, and close the gate 
afterward, replacing the lock as you found it.  (It's best to drive your 
vehicle through the gate before doing this.)

SPECIAL NOTE: IF you LOCK the padlock after you close the gate it is 
NO LONGER "DUMMY-LOCKED" - then it's what we call; "LOCKED BY A DUMMY."  
Anyone arriving later than you will have a long hike to camp and will 
have a few choice words with you in the morn.

TO SUM UP:  Don't be a dummy.

ornaments, etc...

New ideas for this year's event include: 
Children's parade (kids may want to plan to bring costumes etc to 
participate), Brew Ha Ha (beer brewing contest by our own Beaver family's 
best), smoothie contest (non-alcoholic version of the brew ha ha), ice cream 
social, and maybe bringing back the adopt-a-hole but without a fee (Instead, 
decorate your golf hole the way you choose and then either bring or order 
enough glow to light it up if you need more than what 
Beaver Open would normally use on the course), Kid's campfire sing along (w/ 
s'mores), better organized adult sing along. 

If you are interested in participating, organizing and/or implementing any of 
these ideas or you have other ideas of your own please contact us by phone or 
e-mail asap.
