WhirlyBall!! Simply the Best Sport Ever :)

Join us for our second year playing Lacrosse mixed with Basketball while in Bumper Cars?!? Sounds crazy right? BUT WHAT FUN!!! WhirlyBall! This is an exclusive Bucket List Bunch event! You can't just show up at this place and play.

http://after5detroit.com/a5/images/stories/whatshot/other/whirlyball10.jpgThe mechanized vehicle each team member operates is also known as a WhirlyBug. Although the WhirlyBug resembles a bumper car, it is a far superior machine. Using a crank-like wheel, you will be able to turn sharper and move faster, focusing more on scoring with your Lacrosse-like scoop. Each person is equipped with a WhirlyBug and a scoop. Yeah, sounds strange, but you and everyone else on the floor are equally matched so the game only gets more fun as time goes on.

The Bucket List Bunch is reserving the WhirlyBall center exclusively for our private party! Games are 10 minutes long with 2 teams of 5 players. We will be able to play about 4-6 games each. While you are not playing WhirlyBall you can socialize, cheer on other Bucket Listers as they play, and enjoy pot luck picnics! So bring your favorite finger food and drinks to share! Please post in your RSVP what you will bring!!

*PLEASE NOTE: As of 11:00PM 2/24 THERE ARE ONLY 10 SPOTS LEFT!

IMPORTANT! YOU MUST BE 11 OR OLDER AND AT LEAST 48" TALL TO PARTICIPATE!

WHAT THE IS WHIRLYBALL?!?!?!Watch this HILARIOUS video for everything you need to know about the sport!  

Where? WhirlyBall East Coast 1265 John Fitch Blvd. South Windsor, CT 06074 [masked]

When? Sunday March 4, 2012 12pm-4pm double the time from last year for double the fun!  

How? $30- RSVP YES, show up, and enjoy! It's that easy! DON'T DELAY There is only room for 48 people and this event is sure to fill up fast! Don't forget to mention what you will bring for the potluck picnic!

Why? Why the heck not? It's a great opportunity to meet new people with the same need for fun that you have! And this looks like the silliest fun you can have in one place!

Even Death Cab For Cutie does it!

    I could bring drinks, or fruit platter, or brownies. Any votes? (does anyone have an actual list of what people are bringing that they could refer to for a response?)

    So far: Debbie's bringing stuffed mushrooms (yum!), Tom with homemade guacamole and beer (one of my favorite combos), Voula with meatballs (I don't know if sauce is involved?), Judy with hummus and pita chips (sounds Mediterranean), Andrea with creamy Pesto dip and veggies (healthy and tasty) and David with cheese, meats, crackers, and maybe dip too (all standard favorites at any party[party essentials]), Kathi will bring a dessert (suprise!), and {CONTINUED}

    Ellen looking for votes on the top three food groups: drink, fruit or brownies! That's your latest update so far. You know... your makin' me wish I were goin'... any thing that resembles chariots and involves a contest of contests somehow appeals to my inner-self somehow...:)

    I'm also bringing a dozen bottles of Snapple. Can anyone think of anything else? I may bring another appetizer dish if there's a need for more food.

    I don't know Kathi, but my gut instinct is if you keep the dessert a suprise... you're good! :)

    I'll be bringing napkins and either a sweet or salty cream cheese mix between crackers or grahams. Water is good for those who are wondering what to bring, libations, also good. It gets hot so I highly suggest wearing a tshirt.

If anyone cancels last minute, can pay you directly and take your spot. I hope this works for the organizer since no money if being refunded. My cell# 980-939-2107
