Unstable 9 #1 April 29, 2004 I had an awsome experience I wanted to share with everyone today!! Over at The Fort Riley Middle School, they hosted a big "Wellness Fair" to promote activities and interests in Elementary and Middle School Children. Well, Several of the Clubs at K-State were invited to setup displays and talk to the students about a certain activity. They had all sorts of groups there, from Roller Hockey, to Tae Kwon Do, the Military Police had drug awareness booths and activities and the Fire Dept brought out their big trucks and did fire Safety activities. A real great activity, very well planned out! Well, the Parachute club was asked to go and have a booth, and I was lucky enough to get to go and run it from 7:45 to 2:40. It went Great! I brought some pictures and magazines, my Rig, Altimeter, Jump Suit, the KSUPC End of Year Video (Courtousy of KansasSkydiver!!) and Misc. knicknacks out to the fair. It was a HIT!!! All the Kids wanted to try on my rig, and I organized them and "trained" them in pull procedures and had them all shout out the count "ARCH THOUSAND, TWO THOUSAND, THREE THOUSAND, FOUR THOUSAND, FIVE THOUSAND, CHECK!!!" They loved it - They asked some amazing questions and absolutly ate this stuff up!! I must have heard almost everyone of them say "I Can't Wait Until I'm 18 So I can Jump!!" Here are some pictures from my display! One is of a 6th grader trying on my Rig, one is of my Little Booth (some not shown) and one is of Yours Truly Smiling and looking cool. I passed out over 15 Business cards to the Teachers, and some of them expressed a Great Interest in Doing a tandem!!! This thing Just rocked all over!!!=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unstable 9 #8 April 29, 2004 Thinking back on it, I had lots of friends in Elementry school that told everyone they had been skydiving before.... I wanted to ask a few of these kids about it, but I didn't want to put them on the spot with all their friends watching...=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kansasskydiver 0 #13 April 29, 2004 Congratulations, looks like a job well done. Would have much rather been there than at work yesterday, it was so pointless to even be there, but they wouldn't let us go home early. Oh well. I'll see if I can get off for the MHS, problem is with the layoff coming up, everyone is taking their vacation time while they still can, so us part timers are SOL<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist!
