Skee-Ball Emporium

As you may have heard...


One of 4-H Camp's BIG off-season victories...

Was the procurement...

(Thanks to a wonderful team of donors)...

Of its very own SKEE-BALL Machine!

So, we thought we'd celebrate...

By throwing...

A Skee-Ball Weekend!

(Wait. I'm now being told...

That it was just a Skee-Ball Competition...

During our annual...

Leadership Weekend.

Tomato, Tomato.

[One of those tomatoes was pronounced differently than the other tomato. 

End of brackets.] End of parenthes.)

Yes,

The theory of...

"Maybe a Skee-Ball machine would be fun?"...



Was proved to to be empirically and emphatically...

TRUE.

So, after...

Honoring the high scores...

With their...

Prize ceremony...

All that was...

Left to do was to...

 

Update the sign.


UP NEXT:


Oh, so you want some NON-Skee-Ball photos from Leadership Weekend? Uh, sure. I suppose we could do that.
