I don't know if this has been brought up before or not ......I KNOW it is probably too late for this year, but I found a site we could order coozies from. Prices seem very reasonable and they can be customized with any logo.

No doubt there are other sites out there, but working it the same way buy one for yourself buy one for a troop..OR if could possibly be a fund raiser to make money for next year.....

Any thoughts on it, anyone?

Here is the link about the coozies. There are many different styles and colors.

Hi Everyone!

Thought I would give you a nice little update here. The military and The Anaconda Times newspaper have really caught the spirit. Spc Matt Ritter, who designed the front logo of the t-shirt, has produced three different 4-color posters that will be plastered all over this camp. The Anaconda Times, the base newspaper, plans on running 4-color inserts in the paper about two weeks out and the large theatre will begin running 10-15 second promotions before each movie about 10 days out. Nice huh?

BUT . . . can someone give me a lead on where I might be able to find a giant banner of Buffett or a parrot or something along those lines - looking for something in the 6' to 10' range to hange from the high dive at the pool.

The Corona "Admit two" banner we have to send is 3' x 6' with a photo of Jimmy. Is that good enough? I can send it with our PHC logo banner.

I forgot to add something on my other post concerning nice surprises. Pooltoy.com has donated 5 Paradise Double Island flotation tubes for our raft relays.

Really nice of them. THANKS POOLTOY.COM!
