A Day of New People, Food and Fun!

After months of planning, we had our second EXCLUSIVE YES! LEADS BeachBQ complete with a totally revamped YES! Amazing Race on Thursday, June 30th.

After an unfortunate delay due to the weather, about 40 YES! LEADers along with several staff members arrived at Greenwood Park on Thursday morning ready for a day of fun.

The morning was a free time period, and many LEADers used that time to get an energetic game of Wiffleball going, or took to the sand pit to play some beach volleyball.

Lunch was delicious bar-b-que provided by Brooks' out of Oneonta. LEADers were treated to their choice of either bbq chicken, pulled pork, or a veggie burger.

After lunch, teams were created for our totally revamped YES! Amazing Race. Teams had time to get to meet each other, come up with a team name, and create their team flag. Once the Amazing Race started, YES! LEADers were treated to a variety of different activities including shaving a balloon, dunking their face in pudding, eating a Jello cup through a straw and a couple different relays on their way towards the Ice Cream Truck Finish. Every team received a prize, whether it was 1st, 2nd or 3rd Place, Best Sportsmanship, Best Name or Flag, and even Last Place.

At the end of the day, YES! LEADers who were in attendance received an extra special gift: an exclusive YES! LEADS Hoodie!

It was a great day, full of fun activities and good times.
