Flyer Like It’s 1999

Back in the day, when you wanted to get a message out about something – you made a flyer! While social media is cool, sometimes you have to “throw it back” old school.

Battle of the Belts Competition

Battle of the Belts a fast-moving competition where teams of 4 see who can buckle-up the fastest. To start, the team runs from a starting line, to a 4-door car. The Starting line is 15 feet from the back of the car’s rear bumper. Team members get in, buckle up, and throw their hands in the air until a Referee shouts “ROTATE!” Then they unbuckle, get out, rotate clockwise around the car to the next seat and buckle-up again. They rotate twice more until they have been buckled in all four seats. The team with the fastest time after four “buckle-ups” is the winner!
