Some of the most fun entertainment for yards around. Frolics and japes for all ages and persuasions.
Tournament Volleyball: A full-size court on one of the lawns. We've noted a general
adherence to the rules, but there are times when anything goes.
Full-Contact Croquet: To be found in the front yard. An unsanctioned
variant of the traditional English lawn game, it's been known to bring a new meaning to courting. If you're a stickler for
the rules, check them out here.
Juggling Balls,
Clubs, Flame etc: Feel free to join in, or just be a voyeur!
We have plenty of equipment, or bring your own. Here's a site
with some interesting stuff: www.juggling.org.
If you're completely new at the juggling thing, this site
has some fun animations to learn from:
www.acm.uiuc.edu/webmonkeys/juggling/.
For the real hard core fans, this video is pretty amazing. Free beer for anyone who can do this at ClarkeFest with even a modicum of success; hell we'll settle for swing dancing to the Cherry Poppin' Daddies!
Horseshoes:
The old favorite. A full set of rules etc can be found here:

Swimming Under
Parental Supervision: Mainly for the kids, but also the
young at heart. A whopping 10 feet across, and all of 12 inches deep, our pool will cool you down.
Jugopoly: For those less keen on serious physical exertion, this exercise
will tone up your biceps as you raise glass to mouth in a repetitive motion.
Ridin' the Railroad: Work on the 16' x 28' layout continues
apace. Of course, the old 24' x 8' layout
was dismantled when we moved five years ago.
And finally ...
Frisbee: No prizes for guessing what that's all about...! |
