FFIM

FFIM will be having our usual holiday party on Sunday December 15th from 2-5 at Stars and Strips Brewing in Freeport.

Yankee swap for those who wish to participate, let's keep items under $20.

Craig, post your Yankee swap rules below so there is no shenanigans at the party!

Peter

Excellent - I've been itching to go there! Here are the rules:
1) Each participant draws a number from the hat.
2) #1 picks a gift from all available and opens the gift for all to see.
3) Next in line can then choose to either take an unopened gift OR steal an opened gift.
4) If a gift is stolen, the person that is then without a gift, can either steal an opened gift (you can't re-steal the gift you just lost) or pick an unopened gift.
5) If a gift is stolen (3) times, it is then frozen and that person (the 4th owner) keeps that gift.
6) If #1 finishes the game with the same gift they started with, they get to choose from any unfrozen gift.

Does this make sense? If it doesn't make sense now, it will make perfect sense with a few beers in you!

Will the man who brought festivus to the Boothbay Orphanage for Wayward Fishermen be joining us this year?

hope you all have a great time I will not be there but Merry Christmas to all tight lines

Any word from the Boothbay grinch?

Just to entice him, my gift will be a pass for the Christmas light show at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. He loves that place!

Through in a Yeti tumbler and I'm sure he'll be there......

I can’t make it— a family event came up. Will email the grinch his prize.

We had a great showing on Sunday. So good to see everyone. Don's coyote skulls were a big hit in the Yankee Swap. So was the Karen Talbot pint glass that I snagged (sorry Peter!). Happy Holidays everyone!
