last-minute prep

The Bee Team met today to prepare lagniappes: we wrapped water bottles donated by Save-A-Lot in re-usable bags from Bridgewater Credit Union, tied them with a yellow ribbon, and clipped programs and name-tags to them. Contestants will pick these packages up when they enter the Great Hall on Thursday evening. We also prepped some hilarious gifties for the "superlatives" winners: we'll give out prizes for Best Name, Best Dressed and Best Team Spirit, plus a special award for one of our long-standing supporters. Our appreciation for these winners knows no bounds, and neither does our sense of the absurd...BEE warned!

We have some last-minute prep to do to acknowledge donors, and then there's setup and food and tech on Thursday afternoon.

Bring your thinking caps, your wallets, and your sense of humor. It's going to be a really good night.
