Cupcake Decorating Contest: Enter as an individual or as a den. Awards will be granted for a variety of categories -- be creative! Each den is required to have at least one representative entry or group in the Cup Cake Bake-Off. Here's the flyer. Questions? Contact Kathy at sissy407@aol.com.

Food and Fun: A DJ will direct games and music for the whole family. Races, limbo and balloon stuffing are some of the activities already plannedto keep the children safely and happily occupied between award presentations. Prizes and props will be distributed throughout the event. A buffet dinner will be served, and contest cupcakes will be served for dessert. No alcohol will be served. Families will sit together at tables grouped by dens.

(The Blue & Gold is a fun, exciting event! However, kindly bear in mind that parents, not the den leaders, are responsible for the children's safety, behavior and attentiveness during presentations.)
