2008 SLIPPERY SALMON  OLYMPICS WANTS YOU!

                                                                                1pm Saturday July 12th

One of the most unique events of the Bear Paw Festival is the SLIPPERY SALMON OLYMPICS!!!

Proceeds will go toward the support of the Alaska Veterans Memorial Museum

.

How it works is: sponsored relay teams (two people per team), negotiate an obstacle course while carrying a whole "slippery salmon" in one hand and a server's tray complete with a full glass of soda and the empty can in the other hand!

 

Teams are judged by their overall time, and time penalties are assessed if the drink spills below desig­nated marks on the glass.  Plus, don’t lose that empty can . . . it must be on the tray at the finish!  Two lanes of simultaneous action, hilarious gyrations and lots of fun!

  

All that’s needed is your team . . . there’s only room for 40 teams, so sign up now! Don’t forget to give your team a name! (If you would like to sponsor a team, but do not have runners available, call our office.  We have volunteers standing by to represent you at the SLIPPERY SALMON OLYMPICS!)

ENTRY FEE: $100 PER TEAM

LOCATION:   Matanuska Valley Federal Credit Union parking lot at the main stage.

Each contestant receives an official ‘Slippery Salmon Olympics” T-shirt, a distinguished certificate of participation, and for the top two finishing teams, a special recognition plaque.
