For years I had talked about doing one. I am not joking it
was years. At least 2 or 3. Allison can attest to this. My parents use to
organize them and talked about how great it was and I wanted to do. Finally I
sat down and said we were doing it and on a whim Allison came along with me. I am not too sure she realized what she got herself into. We
planned the date two months in advance. Honestly I didn’t think it was really
going to happen when we set the date. But it did and surprisingly people had
fun.
This year we finished our THIRD YEAR, which I can’t get over
how strange that is. Three years of silliness for the sake of being silly. Not
only was it our third year but seriously it was the first time it actually made
any money. All of the proceeds went to the great and marvelous Tina Singler. It
is just so strange though because the previous two years we hardly broke even. The money doesn’t matter, it really doesn’t. I am just overwhelmed with happiness. I just remember at the end of the night wrapping everything up with Allison and
having that realization ecstatic moment of, “Holy Fucking Chocolate Goodness.
We did it!”
There is a great deal of planning that goes into this. No
joke, we started planning next years that night while the current scavenger
hunt was still happening. There are a lot of big ideas we have floating around
for next year. It is scary and fun at the same time. While I hope what we are
thinking can take place, if it remained the same I wouldn’t mind at all.
Because what it currently is and what it has been is sheer silly fun with my
friends and family. Who doesn’t love that? If it gets bigger the more the merrier. If not, that's cool.
Again, I just had to say I am so happy everyone had fun! I know Allison and I had
fun planning it. Thank you guys so much for being awesome. We look forward to
making you do fun, silly, off the wall things at the 4th 74th annual Scavenger Hunt next year.
