Parents Night Out: FEAR FACTOR!

Our Fear Factor night was a hit. We had 45 attendees who were put to the test and many happy parents who enjoyed their night off. Fear Factor participants were subjected to three physical and three gross out challenges. With winners in each age group for each contest a lot of loot was awarded.


The three physical challenges were the arm hang, head stand, and the medicine ball balance. All three tests were done for time. The arm hang was suspending your self from a chin up bar for as long as you can rely solely on your grip strength. Head stand challenge meant supporting your self in an inverted position with the blood rushing to your head for as long as you can. Finally balance was tested with our six pound yellow medicine ball which you had to balance on with only one foot.

For gross out challenges the participants had to deal with Russian roulette, milk shake madness, and the pig snout relay. For Russian roulette we had a six sided die each side corresponded with a type of food (dried white shrimp, fried and dried anchovies, dried and salted squid, preserved century eggs, nori strips soaked in brine, and mustard greens). Roll the dice eat the food, it was great. Milk shake madness, simple really make a milk shake and see who is brave enough to drink it. The milk shake did have a few special ingredients though. The pig snout relay was a team event where you had to pass a boiled pig snout through your line using only a chopstick held in your mouth.

Red Tiger Dodge Ball Tournament

Red Tiger’s dodge ball tournament was a huge success. We collected a pile of school supplies for Fraser Side Community Services. Fraser Side and all the families the supplies will go to are very thankful for all of your hard work. There were more that just school supplies too over the previous month we had been collecting clothing, dishes and various other items to benefit families in need. The staff at Red Tiger is proud of you for all your hard work and generosity that you displayed. Our theme of the month was CAMARADERIE and you proved it!

We had nearly 100 people attend this little tournament of ours, and 75 of those people were competing. There were two divisions junior and senior and the competition was fierce. The game was dodge ball and the prize, a trophy like no other. In the end there could be only two champions and they were Team Awesome (senior division), and the Diamond Heads (junior division).
