Attention Fort River Families! A challenge has been issued by Clare Bertrand of the Crocker Farm PGO to all other elementary schools to race them in the upcoming "Cardboard Classic" at Winterfest '08. Are any of you ready to take them on and form a Fort River team? Marks Meadow has already announced the formation of their "X-Wing" team. If you are interested in spearheading the Fort River effort please send me an email. I will be happy to coordinate any email communication. --Thanks, Ann McLaughlin (damclaughlin@comcast.net).

Dear PTO leaders of Fort River, Marks Meadow and Wildwood,
The Crocker Farm PGO (parent group) would like to challenge the other elementary schools to join us in the first ever “Cardboard Classic” to be held at Winterfest ’08 at the Cherry Hill Golf Course on Feb. 9th, races to begin at 2:30. http://www.winterfestamherst.com/
In case you haven’t heard about it, besides the Cardboard Classic, Winterfest ’08 at Cherry Hill Golf Course features a rockin’ GREAT band (Swift Kicks), beer and wine, fireworks at 7pm, and LOTS of fun family events like sledding, skiing, snow sculpture contests, golf putting contests, a craft fair, and a chili cook off among area restaurants. For more info about Winterfest ’08 see http://winterfestamherst.com/activities.html.
So far they have planned some really great and funny match ups for the Cardboard Classic:
-A Selectboard Primary Race!!
-Larry Shaffer vs. Gerry Weiss vs. Larry Kelly!
-Fire Chief Hoyle vs. Police Chief Scherpa
-Building Inspector Bonnie Weeks vs. Building Outlaw David Keenan!
-Big Brothers vs Big Sisters
-And they’re looking for more races among restaurants, stores, non-profits, kids and the general public!!
So what do you think? Are you willing to take our challenge and meet us on the hill? We think our Crocker Crocodile is going to kick your butt!!!! Check out the fun you could have: http://winterfestamherst.com/cardboardClassic.html
The bigger the box, the more kids you can fit in it! Imagine the giggling as we all race to the bottom. Be in touch and let us know what you think!
Thanks,
Clare
