Last year Idaho handed out little potato pins and random Idaho stuff. What would you guys want to have from Idaho? We're actually quite a boring state...everyone seems to think we're potato farmers. :cry:
I noticed that the pins in the shape of Idaho were pretty popular. I myself brought a 24-pack of Spud Bars last year, which weren't as popular as I expected, but I still got rid of all but two (which I ate myself :D )

(Oh, and by the way, I think you guys will crush BK ;) )
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

No one wanted my pins...maybe it was because I'm so short no one could see me. XD

Thanks! BK is really mad they "were beaten by homschoolers" *GASP* but I'm hoping that all our effort will pay off even though BK is fueled by anger.

I have some leftover UFSO T-shirts that I might bring, although I will be at the coach/supervisor meeting and not at the swap meet

If we qualify, I will bring a Boca High shirt for you. I know it is what you have always wanted.

Maybe one of the trial event supervisors won't check for a wrist band and I could compete again :lol:

BRING LICENSE PLATES IF YOU'RE LOST FOR IDEAS! Those were I think the most popular trading item I saw at the swap meet last year. If my team makes it again I want to bring a lot more, we only had a few. Maybe someday I can have a plate from every state. :D

Little warning about bringing rocks: make sure you directly seek out people who do rocks and minerals. Otherwise you'll just be trying to trade with normies who aren't at all interested.
