FAQ's:
SO WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE, EXACTLY?
This year's Decomp will be a smorgasbord of food, drink, and fun featuring yourselves, your friends, and your lovely families! The main idea here is to have a fantastic picnic, an awesome Miniature Chiditarod - the Sextathalon, and a bunch of participatory games you can take part in. You make it happen, we all enjoy each others' company, leave no trace, all-inclusive etc.
HOW CAN I HELP?
Organizers need volunteers for setup, cleanup, and for running and judging the very first ever Sextathalon during the event.
The Sextathalon will require judges, timekeepers, and a willingness to both dispense and receive PBR.
Bring food to and drinks to give away and enjoy yourself! Picnic blankets are a must.
Finally, we're looking for volunteers with vans to soberly take heads to and from the Metra, and possibly the Green Line.
$10? A WHUH?
We're not turning people away, but please try to give something to the cause. We'll have porto-johns, a fantastic space, a sound system, food & drinks, etc. Get a wristband and help build this up.
SEXTATHALON: WHO DAT WITH THE WHAT NOW?
The Sextathalon is exactly what the name implies: a six-part race that you can take part in. At around 3:30 PM, teams of four, two, and one will compete for an array of fancy prizes including a six-pack of PBR for all 21+ participants. You will experience the Obstacle Course, the Circle of Fury, the Sack Races, the Chug of Love, the Divine Conception, and the Three-Legged Triage.
Get your team of two or three together. Then dress up & join up. It's free. It's fun. And you can win PBR!
More to come.
