I had hoped to stop by for an hour or two, but that doesn't look like it will happen. Hope the event is successful and everyone has a good time.

WE ROCK!!!

Unofficial head count puts us at more than 100 over last year, without even counting the members yet. shock

Mini-Golf was a HUGE success, Jabba, as always, drew a crowd, and lots of people stopped to take pictures with the Landspeeder on its last appearance.

Everyone give themselves a pat on the back. Big props to Mike for the mini golf, and to David for stepping up in true RMFF fashion as the new guy. hugs applause

It was so great to see everybody! What a great event!

I don't get trick-or-treaters where I live, so it was relly fun to see all the kids 9and grown-ups!) in their costumes. grin

My girls had a lot of fun. It was the first time Hannah has gotten to try mini golf so I am glad her first time was free... well included in admission anyway... because she is terrible! Hehe But it was great to see some of the members and just overall have some fun. happy

I had an awesome time! It was great meeting all of you (finally), and I can't wait to start our next big project! Thanks for the warm welcome! dancing

-p.s. Sorry I didn't make the party! I crashed after the event, and chose to scare little kids instead. Lame, I know. nerd

Thank you all so much for making this event a great success! I'm very proud of all the RMFF-ers...new and experienced. This was another successful event and one that I was proud to be a part of.

The fact that we had enough people and a great enough presence to warrant two tables was fantastic.

Major props to e1jnky for all the tireless work put into the mini-golf course (which was a big hit with the kids, who kept coming back to play more). And to the Sith couple for their hard work on the course and bringing all our supplies to the event. Also, a big thanks to Sarnia and Zoo for coordinating this with WOTR and in making many smiling faces with the landspeeder and the other great tables at the event.

Good job everybody!!

Actually, one of our honorary members kept our 1st table running, with the occasional RMFFer helping keep track of the frogs. We had 3 tables going strong all day... Like I said, WE ROCK!

Final info from WOTR Matt

So, I got the “official” count for the event from our accountant… 750! Holy crap!! We kicked ASS this year, no?

Thank you all SO much for all your hard work on this. I really think this one was better than the rest. The golf was a HUGE hit, the robots were popular, the land speeder was inspired, and the Klingons were very popular with the kids. Next year we can even do better I bet.



Pass along our thanks to all those that participated. We have the most kick butt Halloween event in Denver because of all of YOU!

One last set of numbers from the Volunteer Coordinator:


Here are the numbers if you are curious. 754 people processed through Admissions! 31 new families became Wings members because they had so much fun. That’s a record for a single day!
