Maria,
Colin .. Hopefully you are monitoring your email and getting the notes about
female model T-Shirts.
Abby, please be on the look out for appropriate favors ... Let's say between
500-750. You have to be careful about being able to the either bring this
quantity with you or be able to ship it reasonably. Let us know if you find
something.

Well, put it this way. If it is our brand, it will be our yearly "thing" to
give out, possibly updated with a year written on it, etc. Quantity would not
then be a problem. Usually there are 64 teams, about 10-30 people per team,
spectators with kids. I think you're getting my point. It is A LOT of favors to
give out. Hong Kong may well be our best bet for bulk purchase; we could either
purchase or make the necklaces out of ribbon. Hopefully the cost, size, and
weight of transport would be cost-effective/worthwhile.
I do love the idea of an authentic piece of fishing gear, net, possibly a
lobster trap...we just have to make sure our pit would pass safety check.
On another note, would we want to coordinate with a red t-shirt background,
white logo? Also in the t-shirt realm: if we could possibly get some female
model t-shirts made along with the regular unisex cut, it would be great.

This is a great idea! ... To help with searching ones that we can afford ..
Approximately how many of these should we get?
Also, lindsay ... Great idea about the fishing net :-) Can you look for one?
Maybe we can ask Kelsea Ames, I recall that her dad is a commercial fisherman
... So a real/used piece of fishing net would be awesome.

Hi, all,
I just want to remind you that every team gives out gimicky items at the
competitions. If you have a great favor, everyone flocks to your pit area.
Most kids try to collect all the handouts; some people are covered in pins
from head to toe. Pins are very common as are the colored beads. Gathering
favors is one great way to start meeting people from the other teams, make
connections. Social contact is hightly encouraged for spirit building.
Since our name is "Gone Fishing," we may want to consider giving out a
fishing-related necklace. Lures have hooks, so very much against FIRST safety
rules! However, bobbers are very distinctive, could be part of all our pit
decorations and signage. If we wore anything at all to the kickoff, we'd be
branded and seen on TV around the world. Below are some images to consider.
Just a thought,
Maria Homberg

These could be put on ribbon necklaces. Everyone will be wearing one. Big
hit possiblity. However, at 25 cents each they are a bit pricey. There is a
bundle of 50 foam ones on amazon for $10.

This is over the top to buy and expensive, but I bet we could make it.
Great for keeping snacks or bulky spare parts in the pit.
