First timers guide to Bownanza

Question......I can't commit to a team as I'm not 100% sure I'm going to make it BUT I am making every effort now to keep my calendar clear for that weekend. My question is this, what is the best way for a Nanza newbie to get involved or "fit in" so to speak? Just walk up to someone and say "Hey"....and let it go from there?

Yes! And be sure your hand shaking arm is rested up!
Don't eat to much of one thing, just because you think it is good(like gator lips)!
I guarantee, it is all that good!
You will meet so many people you won't remember who you met!
You will make friends with people from all over the place.
If you think you want to buy something from Mary at the merchandise table, you better decide ahead of time. Know what you want, what size and don't hesitate!
It will be gone in a flash!!!
BNZA will redeem your faith in the Human Race, you won't believe how many good people there are.
If you think this is the best website ever, BNZA will re-enforce that!




I think I am gonna wear a sombrero this year!

Great answer!

I'll tell ya how many folks you will meet.... every year I introduce myself to at least one person who says "Yeah, we met 2 years ago, remember we talked about_____" and I say the same thing to one or two people each year.

You will meet so many folks you will never remember them all, but each year you will remember a few more.

Come early, stay late, wear comfortable shoes and pace yourselves.

Well stated, but I'd like to add:
Bring a rain coat, parka, hipboots, flip flops, shorts, tee-shirts, sweatshirt, sunscreen & a portable fan.

Be sure to keep ur guest in check. If they get rowdy, it's all on ur hands. Had a guy a few years ago get a little too drunk and started a fight. If memory serves me correctly, he was TBH member's guest.

Got the "go ahead" from the boss lady last night so, Lord willing, I'll be there! I decided to just jump in with both feet and will be helping out on a couple of teams. I'll have my 12 yr old son in tow also. Looking forward to meeting some of y'all!

And BTW, Team Childcare always do a wonderful job taking care of our precious little monsters. Be sure to 'take care of them'. Every little bit helps.
